If you are looking for a authentic Hawaiian experience, this house if for you. The house, built in the 1940's has fantastic architecture that features an outdoor patio and a spacious kitchen. The outdoor "lanai" is great for families and has comfortable couch / chair seating for 6 or 7. Each of the sleeping quarters were private with a pleasant view of the ocean. The kitchen was fully stocked and contains everything you will need ranging from a french press for coffee lovers to blends and wine openers.
For Kona, this location is nearly unbeatable. As we noticed, many houses do not have private land and seating on the ocean. This house has a private peninsula situated directly on the ocean. There were 6 lounge chairs that we brought out to the peninsula to take in the views. Directly next to the peninsula is a beach that attracts many sea turtles.
The house has a full grown mango tree. Over the course of the week we collected dozens of fresh mangos allowing us to make smoothies and cocktails from scratch . From the moment we arrived Cecelia, the caretaker, was very welcoming and friendly. We found the house very private, but Cecelia was easy accessible if we had questions.
All in all, I highly recommend this house to families and groups. It is one of my favorite Airbnbs to date.
