We came to the Big Island with the whole family to see my nephew participate in the Ironman World Championship. There were 10 of us in the house and it was very comfortable. We had some guests over for dinner and the kitchen/dining area easily accommodated 15 for dinner at the table and kitchen island. The house is a 5 minute drive from the airport which was great for the multiple trips we had to make. The only downside (which has been mentioned in a few of the reviews) is that the house is on the main road going up the hill. If you are a light sleeper, the traffic can be a little loud with the windows open at night. Great house, great host!
