The villa was larger and more spacious than I expected. It is well stocked (beach supplies went beyond my expectation) and it's in a great location for driving around the island. It's a little farther from Kona than I expected but, closer to beautiful North Kohala and even Waimea, making access to our daily adventures a breeze.
The grounds are lovely and well kept, one of the pools is literally behind the villa, and access to restaurants and grocery shopping is easy.
It is a resort, not too unlike resorts anywhere else, and other than the fragrant air and warm, soft breeze, it doesn't exude Hawaii's charm but, that's a small price to pay for its comfort and convenience.
