From the very start MaryAnn was exceptionally accommodating! From answering questions about booking to following up before our trip to assure that we were well informed and the process went smoothly. Unfortunately, we were unable to meet in person so MaryAnn assured that her associate, Peggy, was able to accommodate us.

My family and I arrived to a beautifully, well kept, spacious condo. The condo was stocked with every essential item you could need. Dish ware, utensils, iron, shampoo, laundry soap, towels, etc. There were even boogie boards and snorkeling gear in the closets for when we hit the beach. An added bonus. What we really loved most is being able to walk out of the bedroom/living room to a view of the golf course and beach. Also, how the volcanic rock was spread throughout the complex.

The unit is at the back of the complex, but a stones throw from everything–restaurants, shops, the beach, the market, etc. So we'd start every day with a brisk walk down the road to either the market or the Hilton where our family was staying. **It's worth mentioning that although 5-star hotels are nice with some great amenities, you simply get more for your money when staying at a location like The Shores. The amount of square footage and privacy makes more sense when traveling with a family.

The weather was awesome every day! So if you wanted to you could take a dip or lay out by the pool and get to know some of the community members. Most of which seem to be seniors. The complex is very serene at night. Nothing but the sounds of nature to lull you to sleep. It was great having the option to lay out on the patio, either enjoying a good book or taking in the experience. Remarkable scenery.

We were in town for the IronMan competition which is an all-day event. We appreciated how MaryAnn check up on us throughout our stay. We spoke one evening while my family and I were at the Luau. I shared my sentiments and she was glad to hear that we were having an awesome time. Many thanks to MarryAnn for choosing Peggy to assist us. The whole experience was seamless. And my family and I look forward to our next trip to the big island.
