We had a wonderful family holiday at Colessi by the Sea. All of our expectations were beyond met! We were warmly welcomed by Chris, oriented to the house, and immediately put on a bathing suit and took a dip in the pool. The house was tastefully decorated with just enough Christmas touches. We spent most of our time in either the kitchen or the deck area around the pool. The house was well equipped. There was not a kitchen utensil or item that we could not find in the house. We cooked most nights as the food in Kona was underwhelming. There were beach toys, an umbrella and chairs in the garage. I imagine every guest leaves something behind so you don't have to purchase any equipment. This includes: boogie boards, blow up kayak, snorkeling equipment, water shoes, tubes, badminton etc. We walked through the beautiful neighbourhood several times and at the top of Io drive was offered tangerines from the neighbour's tree. I have no complaints and highly recommend the house!
