We picked this place because we wanted a space that our 2- and 4-year-old boys would have fun and feel comfortable. We particularly liked that it had a toddler bed, even if it is in the master bedroom instead of the second bedroom. The boys loved this place, having tons of fun running around the house and property, petting the friendly cats, and jumping like mad men on the trampoline. Abram generously made sure there were toys around for our boys to play with, which made them so happy. We loved that it was a kid-friendly space and we didn’t have to stress about everything they did and if it would cause any dirt or damage. One slight annoyance with the house is that the bedroom walls do not go all the way to the ceiling, so there is quite a bit of noise transfer between the bedrooms.
The property feels wild and secluded, perfect for a get-away in Hawaii. It’s about an hour from Kona and about an hour from Volcanos National Park. We liked its central location and quite enjoyed the long winding drives through the picturesque scenery of the island. These drives were also good opportunities for the boys to nap on the go.
Abram is a thoughtful host, and the house was stocked with all manner of toiletries, sunscreen, after-sun lotion, and bug spray. I was impressed to even see maxi pads in the bathroom. The place isn’t insulated, so it does get chilly at night during the winter, but Abram made sure there were more than enough warm comforters to sleep comfortably. There were also tons of pillows of varying thicknesses and firmness so we could find exactly what we wanted. That was great! To combat the sound from the neighbor’s rooster, he supplied ear plugs - a much-appreciated touch. He was also great about accommodating our schedules for check-in and check-out.
Overall, we really liked the place and would recommend it.
