We were looking for a place to relax and spend the majority of our time on the beach. This was perfect for what we had in mind.
The gated community is situated near multiple great beaches (e.g. Waikoloa white sand, 49 black sand), and a few minutes drive away from the shops. For our morning exercise, we walked or jogged the loop around the beautifully landscaped resort area. For larger events, Kona is about a 40 minute drive away. The community pool area was very nice and it had a descent restaurant with lovely staff. It is a great place to watch the sunset.
The unit itself was well decorated and had a convenient layout. We happily utilized the full kitchen, washer & dryer units and balcony area! The unit was better stocked that we expected. We were planning on purchasing things like beach chairs, umbrella, and tatami mats upon arrival, but there were some already available in the second bedroom closet which was a very pleasant surprise. There were no problems with communication and check in/out was super easy.
Overall, highly recommend this place and would definitely come back again.
