Cheryl's house is just as described. We were a large family gathering for Christmas and it was a wonderful place to be able to do just that. It was spacious and clean and offered great amenities for the kids to play as well as what you would need to take to the beach The morning view was my favorite, very relaxing and beautiful. The kids loved the adventures to the water and discovering hidden gems. The community has a speed limit of 15 mph with very little traffic so the kids were able to walk and play carefree outside. This made my 6th trip to Hawaii (first to Kona) and it was simply wonderful. The house is on the south end of the island which is good in regards to proximity to beautiful beaches that are not crowded, including the one by the house past the village (just be prepared for a bit of a hike but it is well worth it when you arrive) My kids and I managed to make it to 5 different beaches (1 of them 2 x) Our favorite was Punalu'u Black sand beach (sea turtles). If you want to relax or hike or have an adventure Cheryl's house puts you in the right place to do so.
