Sand Castle is a beautiful home in a great location on the big island...our family of 10 loved our stay there! The home is about 25 minutes from the Kona airport and a few minutes drive to several stunning beaches along the coast. The private beach club access is nice-our family loved the snorkeling there-and the community pool was pretty. The nearby local beaches are also beautiful and a short drive (within 10 minutes). We also drove across the island to Volcano National Park and various sights along the coast, which was a scenic drive that was easy to complete in a day. We had everything we needed at the house for beach & pool time...umbrellas, chairs, snorkel kits, bikes, coolers, a binder with suggestions and maps, etc. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking/grilling. There were extras included such as spices, coffee, creamer, hand soaps, shampoo, etc., which was nice. Jeff was easy to communicate with when questions arose. All in all, our family made lots of memories that we will cherish forever in this beautiful home, and we would recommend it to anyone!
