Hale Kohola was the perfect place for my family to stay while working remotely/vacationing on the Big Island! The house has all the amenities and accessories to make your beach vacation even better, like extra sand toys, boogie boards, coolers, etc. The kitchen also has everything you need to make full home cooked meals--lot of pots and pans, blender, rice cooker, panini press... the works. Just be prepared to do dishes, since there isn't a dishwasher. The view is AMAZING from the back yard, and like everyone else has said, the outdoor shower is magical.
