For our grown up kids and us, family of 6, this was just the perfect place to be on our first ever trip to any of the Hawaiian islands. We loved all of Kevin's advice and tips on what to do and where to go. The condo was the perfect simple but "everything you could need or want" home base for our adventures. We loved being able to come back a couple nights and grill and eat outside near the pool. It was right across from the ocean and close to Kona, without being so close that we couldn't feel we were really at home when we went back to the Condo and not tourists among tourists. If you want a great home to be together as a family while exploring the "real" Hawaii, then this is the place for you. I can not recommend Kevin as a host highly enough. Mahalo from the Tawels.
