So many wonderful things to say about this home. In addition to what others have said about the beautiful views, location right on the water, very well stocked cabinets (with everything you need to cook, play games, have fun at the beach, watch a movie, etc.), and friendly neighborhood cat, I would also say that the location is ideal in many ways. The house is just a couple of miles to the south of the prime beachfront tourist corridor with shopping, places to eat and access to grocery stores. It is in easy walking distance of a few restaurants, some small corner stores, several public beaches, and a fun outdoor market. But it is off the main road and far enough away from the more concentrated tourist center that you can truly enjoy the peaceful home and yard. Highly recommend eating all meals and spending lots of time on the Lanai. The bay that the home overlooks also has some fun people watching, as you can see surfers, snorkelers and people fishing in the distance. The home itself is very clean and thoughtfully and beautifully decorated. While you can definitely spend a wonderful time coming to this home and not leaving at all in your entire stay, we used it as a launching pad to visit different parts of the island, such as Hilo, Volcano National Park, and the white sand beaches north of Kona. David was very helpful and kind, reaching out the first day to help us get settled.
