Our family really enjoyed Michael’s place. We are a family of five (3 teenage sons). We found the location to be convenient to many popular beaches, yet feel as though we were able to retreat away from the bustling downtown area just north.
We also drove south to captain cook area. We snorkeled about 7 different locations on the island and Two step (Michael’s recommendation) was our family’s favorite snorkeling spot.
We did two day trips from here. One to South Point and Volcano; one to Hilo. Couple hours driving, but it is an easy and picturesque ride. Planning some stops along the way broke up the drive and made it enjoyable.
The unit itself is just as described/pictured. Very clean. We found laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, soap, dish soap and dishwasher detergent, fresh sponge, hand soap, plenty of towels/ wash cloths. Kitchen well-stocked also. There was nothing we lacked to cook meals. (Even a blender for making piña coladas:)
KTA grocery store very close by.
The boys enjoyed use of the tennis courts, ping pong tables and pools. Just outside the ocean pool there is a walking path along the rocky edge that is beautiful.
Michael was very responsive with our questions. We definitely recommend!
