This space has amazing landscaping and the pool and hot tub are well maintained. Location was convenient and the house was well appointed with amenities. Beautiful view of the sunset from the front yard.
I happened to have a friend visiting kona at the same time I was there, I of course asked my host if it would be alright if him and his companion could come by for dinner. Our host said he typically charges 25 dollars a person for visitors, so if they wanted to come by earlier and use the pool or hot tub that would have to be paid in advance. I explained that we were just having them over for dinner and a soak in the hot tub. He said he would waive the fee if we washed the extra towels and kept the use of the hot tub "minimal". I don't know what minimal means 5 mins, 10 minutes? I'm on vacation and I don't want to worry about what was acceptable so I told my friend we wouldn't be able to have dinner at my place. I totally understand not wanting a party or people having a bunch of people over. My issue is that this rental is a 2 bedroom, so people I'm assuming regularly have 4 people staying here with no additional fees. My partner and I were the only ones staying at the property, so I don't see why you would charge us or limit how long we could be in the pool/hot tub for having 2 friends over for a few hours.
