This is such a magical property. I spent a week here with my family; my husband and two teenage daughters. It really is the perfect balance between time at the ocean and the pool. It offers a place to relax and appreciate island life.
Pros: The property is amazing and beautiful, if you like pool life you can't beat this. The location is a short drive to the ocean, downtown Kona and a supermarket, about 8 minutes. You can see the sunset from the kitchen table.
Cons: The owner lives upstairs so there really isn't much privacy. Their kitchen looks out over the pool. The kitchen has limited and low-quality supplies. The backyard lights shut down at 9, kinda felt like a high school curfew. There are a lot of rules and I felt pressure to not mess anything up. The doors do not have locks on them so your stuff and you are never locked up. It felt safe, but still.
Overall, the place is beautiful and in a good location. We appreciated our stay there.
