This was truly a "Magical" vacation spot! We absolutely loved the location, the house, and especially the hot tub/pool. We were a little unsure about the location initially, because of how far out of town it was, but it turned out to be perfect! Kailua/Kona have become very crowded, so this was a great place to be close enough for provisions, restaurants, snorkeling, shopping, etc, but far enough to get away from the crowds and enjoy the beautiful gardens, roosters and all. The property is very private, and the sunsets from the hot tub are incredible! Ray, the manager, was always available, he's very friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations. The home was well appointed with just about anything we needed, and the knives were sharp (very unusual in a rental house from our experience). The avocados fell from the tree right outside the back of the house, and they were the most delicious avocados we have ever eaten, not to mention the largest. The furniture was comfy, and we loved the huge assortment of music available on the iPod. We would go back to this home in a heartbeat, and have already recommended it to family and friends. Christmas in Hawaii...who could ask for anything more?
