This property is something special! It began with Robert being a proactive host and touching base ahead of our stay. Once we settled in, he followed up to make sure everything was perfect. Next, the property itself was elegant and nestled in a gorgeous setting. There was plenty of space for our family of 6 and all the amenities of home in the unit. The space was very clean, stylishly decorated and included a well equipped outdoor kitchen. It accommodated our young children with ease. We didn't have to bring anything for my infant, the property had two pack'n plays, a high chair and even a car seat (although we brought our own). As someone that lives in a hot climate, one of the best amenities was the covered parking, so great to have when temps are hot.
One of best aspects of this property is the location; it's nothing short of phenomenal, especially with kids. The complex has a beautiful pool area overlooking Anaeho'omalu Beach, which is stunningly beautiful. There is direct beach access from the pool area and if you have kids, this beach is perfect. The surf is gentle and the sand is more coarse, meaning you won't have to deal with fine particles of sand everywhere. There are multiple outdoor showers in the pool area for rinsing off after a day in the water. The property is nestled between the Marriott and the Hilton, although it feels very private and serene. A great place for a quite and relaxing trip. However if you're up for more excitement, the Hilton is a short walk away. You can find all sorts of parties and crowds there, if that's what your looking for. While in Kolea, you feel like you're on your own private island. The grounds are well manicured and maintained, its a pleasure to just stroll around. Finally, the whole complex is located near some great restaurants and shops. No need to drive anywhere, you can find almost anything you need within a 10 minute (beautiful) walk.
Overall, our stay was excellent. This is one of the properties we want to return to again and again. If you find yourself considering Robert's place, don't hesitate, grab it if you can. You won't be disappointed!
