This house is GREAT for exploring the Kona Coast. We traveled with our family of five (16, 14, 9) and my in laws and mom. Finding a place that could REALLY sleep 8, with enough space, bathrooms and all to accommodate us all was not easy. Noelani was AWESOME answering my questions about the exact bed setup etc... to make sure this would be a fit.
Check in was super easy, Noelani communicated really well with us. Was available for questions throughout.
The house is in a great little neighborhood with some other rentals, and full time residents. Not loud at all.
The house is exactly as described. The Lanai was great. we spent very little time inside, sat out, in the breeze, watching the birds!
Location is AWESOME. even the smallest kids can walk down to the beach, parking is a pain everywhere in HA.... Magic sands beach is small, but the kids loved it. A mile away, easy bike is Kahaluu park arguably the best snorkel spot for kids on the island... Kona proper is a short drive away for restaurants and whatnot.
There are SUP's, surf and boogie boards, a couple beach cruisers, umbrellas, beach chairs and snorkel gear at the house to get you started, and if you need more than she has to borrow, Walmart is a 10 minute drive! This was REALLY great for us, we could use her stuff, and not buy a bunch of stuff to go to waste... although we added a few snorkel sets to the pile... I would rent this house again in a heartbeat! Aloha and Mahalo
