The view from the lanai... wow! Great for watching the sun set, surfers, and sea life! We had a big sea turtle sunning itself right in front of our lanai (but don't touch them! $50,000 fines!!!). The Kona side of the island was beautiful. We did snorkeling and parasailing. We went to Mauna Kea Visitor Center for stargazing and took a boat tour around the coast to see the lava flows pouring into the sea! But enough about my trip, you want to know about the property! It had everything we needed. The second bedroom was more than enough room for my daughter and my son slept well on the queen size pullout. The king bed in the master bedroom was perfect and there is a huge divider that closes off the bedroom from the living room for privacy. You are right on the ocean so with the lanai doors open, it's loud... but we loved it! It was soothing and relaxing. If you close the glass doors, you barely hear it but with the cooling winds at night, you're gonna want to leave them open! Now, on to Paul and Linda. They were so responsive to all our emails and questions with regards to volcano activity concerns. The activity is literally on the other side of the island and had ZERO effect on our activites, the view, or any other part of our stay. Paul's welcome email had sooo much information on things to do and see. It was a great help in deciding what to do with our short time there. Linda was equally as responsive and super flexable with our check in/check out. We arrived so early in the morning (9am) and allowed us to get in early to leave our bags while the cleaners cleaned so we didn't have to lug them around town with us. Then on the last day, we had a snorkeling trip in the morning that pushed us right up to check out and she gave us some extra time to get showered and changed. Overall this was a great place to stay and Paul and Linda were great hosts. We would definitely recommend this place and would stay there again. Thanks Paul and Linda!!
