If you need the perfect house for a larger group or multiple families look no further. We have visited the Big Island many times with mixed housing results so trust me when we know a good one. We hosted a family reunion of 14 people/4 families with room to spare. The location is sublime - right on Alii drive with a unobstructed view of the ocean/constant gentle cooling trade winds and a short 2 min. walk to Magic Sands beach. The house is generously equipped with virtually everything you'll need to have a great time (beach chairs/towels/umbrellas, snorkel equipment, pool toys, boogey boards, etc..). There are multiple private outdoor spaces (lanais, hammock, outdoor bed, chaise lounges) and indoor spaces (separate main living /family rooms and suites with attached living rooms / TVs) to spread out and chillax. We could all dine together on the main lanai or find out own space to watch a show/read a book or get our daily yoga meditation. The kitchen is fully stocked with ample dishware/storage/cleaning supplies and accessory appliances (there is a nice K-cup machine but also a grinder and drip coffee maker for Kona coffee afficionados). There is also a brand new grill that worked great on steaks and has a searing burner perfect for ahi sashimi. Everything was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The wifi worked great - it handled about 20 devices without a problem. The house has good proximity to everything - 10 min drive to downtown (but not too close so the late night traffic/partyers aren't a problem), KTA and Safeway supermarkets close by, easy access to Hawaii Belt Rd and Mamaloa/Kuakini Hwys to get around or out of town (Costco/KOA airport only 25 min. away). Access to Uber/Lyft and food delivery was not an issue. The icing on the cake is that Michelle was an awesome host. She had established great lines of communication weeks before we had arrived and was amazingly responsive to our questions and concerns once we were present. Being an frequent AirBnb/VRBO vacationer I wish I could say this was the norm, but generally its the exception to the rule. The bottom line is if you are seeking value you will not find a better option at this size/price point/location with optimal parameters in Kailua Kona. We have paid more for far less and compromised in the past. This house will not disappoint you. We celebrated a birthday and 2 high school graduations with bon voyage for college. The best thing of all was we shared of lot of great experiences with extended family after such a rough pandemic 2020. The cherished memories will linger for a long time, especially for our youngest generation of the family. We are very grateful Michelle and her Sugar Shack made that happen.
