Our review from last year (May 2016) still holds true. This place is so peaceful/quiet/safe/comfortable/perfect. We loved it so much we already came back! We did a lot of the things we couldn't squeeze in last time (Haleakala summit/hike into crater, Waihe'e Ridge Hike, more beaches, snorkeling, etc.) and repeated some of our favorites again (Fresh Kona coffee/ breakfast watching the sunrise every morning from lanai before starting our day, Mama's Fish House, driving the coastlines, etc). I can't express how important the central location of this unit is if you are like us and explore all parts of the island. The fact that you also get to be on the water with beautiful views from the lanai every day is enormous value. The new keyless entry to the unit was a nice unanticipated convenience.
I can't recommend it enough. Many extremely interested friends and family are anxious for their turn. I sure hope they get their chance to share in this gem/experience sooner than later.
A million Mahalo's again for everything, Cathy! I have no doubt we will be back ourselves one day and hope it will still be available. This will forever be one of our favorite adventures & memories!
