We enjoyed our stay. My family and I came for a long weekend/to run a marathon. We had plenty of space (my husband and I took 1 bedroom, my parents in another and my kids in the 3rd bedroom), plus there was a large living room. The neighborhood is quiet and felt safe. The house was tidy and had all the kitchen basics, a washer and dryer, 2 bathrooms (each with a shower), plenty of books and toys for the kids. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool or hit the beach, but there were tons of towels and beach gear to borrow. You do need a car, as there isn’t much within walking distance, but remember, this is the Big Island and not Waikiki. It was great to sit in the back yard and watch the sunset/ look at the stars and enjoy the peace and quiet. This is a great place for families with kids. I’d definitely stay there again.
