All the amenities of a resort with all the comforts of home! The Hawaiian Jewel exceeded our expectations. The home was clean spacious and decorated with tasteful tropical touches. Everything you would need to prepare a meal or BBQ was provided in the well equipped kitchen. Our family of 9 had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to share. The washer and dryer were so helpful after a day of beaching or swimming. The garage was stocked with chairs, coolers, and boogie boards. The owners provided clear instructions, lots of helpful recommendations, and were just a phone call away when we needed to ask a question.
The resort itself was gorgeous with a beautiful pool, jacuzzi, and gym.
The location was under 10 minutes to the best beaches like Hapuna, Mauna Kea, 49 Black Sand, the Petroglyphs, grocery, restaurants and shopping! The town of Kona was about 30 minutes away but that is a town like any other with the exception of great food. You will want to be near the raw natural beauty and beaches. It’s defintwly worth the 1.5 hour drive to Hilo or South to the green sand.
We loved the Big Island so much and would love to revisit. This location is perfect for a big family and we highly recommend it!
