From the moment they accepted our request to stay I felt welcome and at ease about choosing the best place to stay. Kona coffee, snorkel gear, water filter, lovely lanai, helpful books about getting around the island and flora and fauna, perfectly maintained and gorgeous grounds. Two swimming pool options that my kids used plenty. The salt pool is practically swimming in the ocean as its nestled in the shoreline. All the lanai's look into the courtyard which gave me a nice sense of being around, maybe connected to other folks there but not in a weird or uncomfortable way. Lots of folks connecting in the evenings watching the sunset, blowing conch shells. Just an all around great vibe with everything we needed in a central but relaxed, tropical oasis location. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We loved every minute of our stay!
