Andrew has a fabulous place with an incredible location. It is somewhat north of Kona near Hapuna Beach which has been named one of the top 10 beaches in the world in the past. It is also convenient for day trips to Waimea and Waipio Valley - some of the best spots to see. The value of the stay is in the private beach at Mauna Lani with a great sand beach, lots of lounge chairs and cabanas, watercraft rentals, a restaurant, and a very good snorkeling bay protected from rough surf by lots of lava rock outcroppings. Beautiful fish, beautiful water! Wish we had gone to it a few days earlier.
The kitchen was very well equipped and the fridge was spotless. Beds were very comfortable as were the recliners in the living room. Patio had a good breeze and was very enjoyable.
Internet did not work for us, but we did not miss it - at all!! We came to enjoy the beautiful sights and people of the Big Island! I am sure Andrew would have fixed it for us had we brought it up at the beginning of our stay. Minor issues with the washing machine, and with some bugs which is pretty standard for beautiful tropical places, but really not a significant issue.
I would consider myself fortunate to be able to stay there again. Thank you Andrew for sharing your wonderful home!
