We booked Hugo's place as a last minute getaway and he was very responsive from the get to. The house was located right on the beachfront with fantastic view of the bay and the sunset. The house is spacious with two large rooms, living and balcony. It also has a pool next door for guests although the water in the pool is freezing cold (not heated during winter) Downtown Kona is about 10 mins away but expect steady traffic all the way. The beaches near the house are mostly for snorkeling, paddle boarding (youth and up activities). If you have a toddler who just wants to play on a sandy beach, expect quite a lot of driving (40-60mins) As far as the amenities, everything was great. Lots of utensils, towels and beach stuff (there were two beach chairs = lifesavers!!!) One minor thing were the beds, they were on the softer side and made a lot of noise. Apart from that, place was awesome! Thanks, Hugo!
