Our stay on this property was much better than I anticipated. We could see the ocean from the house and the snorkeling beach was a short 3-4 minute drive away.
The host was available when needed, and was even helpful prior to our stay with questions about guidelines/restrictions amidst the pandemic.
There is a fairly large shopping center less than a 10 minute drive away for any items that were needed during our stay.
We noted that drawers/cabinets were labeled in the kitchen, which was quite large, and made for easy location of items.
We were not able to access the garage during our stay, but this did not impact us negatively as there was plenty of parking in the driveway for 1-2 cars and we did not want for anything that could have been stored in the garage.
We spent a lot of time sitting by the koi pond as it was quite peaceful. This was likely one of our favorite amenities of this property!
The only thing to keep in mind for this property is that people with mobility issues may be restricted in getting around the property. Luckily there was quite a large bedroom with living room quarters on the ground level which was where our elderly parents stayed. They could navigate stairs but not to the upper most level on a nightly basis. It is worth noting that I do not consider this a negative aspect of the property and rather just helpful information for future stays.
We would stay here again should the need arise to come to the big island again!
