*****5 STARS*****
What a great, unforgettable experience! I'm so sad to leave! First off, Sarah and Oscar are amazing hosts, and made us feel very welcome right from the start. Whether it was advice or pamphlets on where to explore the island and how to do it fun/safely, or which restaurants and Kona coffee to try, our hosts were so helpful! Would highly recommend staying here. I have listed the rental's pros/cons below for quick review:
Pros:
*Brand new EVERYTHING. Seriously. This is brand new construction with beautiful aqua granite counters, grey accent wood flooring, stainless steel, dishwasher, washer/dryer, the works. Sarah has an artistic eye, the place is decorated very well and has the right feel.
*1,800 ft elevation means AWESOME sweeping views of the palm trees and ocean below, best viewed right from the large front window of the rental.
*Many windows throughout the rental and windows have screens, allowing us to keep them open through the night feeling the nice cool breeze. Being a little higher in elevation is like natural air conditioning, 5-10 degrees cooler at night. Had a great sleep staying here because of this.
*Fully stocked appliances, silverware, pots/pans, everything. Went to a local store and bought fresh poke, poultry, beef, etc and ate like royalty the entire trip without breaking the bank.
Cons:
*The vacation eventually comes to an end, it's hard to leave this place!
All and all my fiance and I had a great trip, and Oscar and Sarah's "Anu Hale" made it even better. Can't wait to come back. Mahalo nui loa Rigg family!
