Enjoyed our 2 week stay. Good communication with host. House is beautiful, lots of space, great for families getting together. Spacious kitchen. Board games to tie you over when it rains. Loved it at night with the screened bedroom windows opened, very soothing to hear all the geckos singing.

Town itself is a small sleepy village known for coffee. Its tucked amid the upland farms on the slopes of Hualalai, so a 15 minute drive to downtown Kona, Safeway, etc. This is a house to "getaway" from it all, which is what we were looking for. Also, keep in mind, being upland means mosquitoes, so be prepared - purchase lavender oil or OFF - and don't leave the doors opened for any length of time.

We were Sue's first guests. Had some minor hiccups, nothing major. House has everything you'll need, including beach gear - 2 beach chairs, snorkel gear (2 adults, 2 kids), tent (but no umbrella), beach towels, and coolers. No AC, but 1 portable fan and 1 ceiling fan in master. May see landscaper - showed up 3 times during our stay.

Just want to thank Sue and Cathy for a nice stay.
