Kathie's condo was an amazing place for our 10 day stay on the Big Island. The location is perfect, right on the ocean with view of the ocean waves crashing and the sunset every evening. We ate breakfast every morning on the veranda while watching the waves, parasailers, birds, etc.
We didn't spend a lot of time in the condo during the day because we are very adventurous and love exploring new things in Hawaii. However, we usually made it back to the Condo late afternoon for a cold drink and an amazing sunset view to end our day.
The bed was very comfortable and we slept like a log each night! The bathroom was very nicely updated and very bright in the morning with the sunlight coming through the skylight.
We cooked in the kitchen every morning and used the BBQ once during our stay. The kitchen is well equipped for your cooking needs.
There is a small rolling ice chest that was our daily drink companion for our adventures. We also had beach towels available for our swimming and snorkeling.
The site resident Richard and his wife were very friendly and you feel like you are at home during your stay.
I highly recommend Kathie's condo and we will definitely stay here again!
