This house truly is a gem: down a long BEAUTIFUL jungle-like coastline road, completely off the grid but you wouldn’t know it. It was one of the best-stocked rental properties I’ve ever found, with a good BBQ, a FULL-stocked kitchen (multiple types of coffee makers, seemingly every type of cooking dish/utensil, good appliances, waffle maker, etc etc), and all the basics like tea, oil, vinegar, sugar, lots of spices, etc. There were also 4 yoga mats, yoga block, an array of free weights and a bar. The large (and conveniently enclosed for kiddos) lanai was great for sunrise yoga and evening dinner/drinks.
The view was spectacular and the gorgeous lava cliffs behind the house were fun to explore and watch the huge waves crash onto them (clearly not a swimming area). The pool was lovely, deep at one end (probably 6-7 feet), but a bit chilly since it wasn’t heated (and when we were there it was usually around 70 degrees outside and often raining, so harder for adults to get in a brisk pool, but kids still had a blast).
Nice enclosed one car garage and plenty of parking in the gated driveway area.
Terry was VERY helpful throughout the whole process, and our stay was great despite a few hiccups. We arrived and he told us the dryer was broken, but someone came to fix it on our second day. We also arrived to a broken water heater which took a total of 4 days to repair due to warrantee and repairman issues. But Terry was quick to respond and update us on progress, and Jordan the maintenance guy was also very friendly and helpful. Obviously it wasn’t great going without hot water for over half our trip but Terry gave us a very fair partial refund at the end for our troubles. And now the place has a fantastic new on-demand water heater!
Overall it was an amazing trip and we will definitely stay here again when we return to the Big Island!!
