We enjoyed the house and neighborhood quite a bit. It was further north on the island than we have ever stayed before but the Waikoloa beach was better that any other beach we have been to on the Big Island. The house was very clean and well-equipped with everything we needed and we used the pool almost every day. It is not heated so it takes a minute to adjust to it's coolness! Communication with the host was excellent as was the ease of check-in. We purchased the AC option which was a good value for us as it got quite warm in the late afternoon for our taste. Thank you, we would rent this house again
