We were a group of eight people; stayed at Sue’s place for a week in the third week of Dec, and had a great time! The house is located in the town of Holualoa which is about a 10 min drive to Kailua-Kona. The weather in the area was sunny but the house never got too hot due to the higher elevation. In fact, late night and early morning can be quite cool.
The house had all amenities we needed, and more. It comfortably sleeps 8, is clean, and has sufficient blankets sheets and towels. Equipment for snorkeling, boogie boards, standup paddle board, ping pong table, and dart board were some of the things that made our stay even more enjoyable. There is a very nice lanai with excellent sunset views. The espresso machine (although a tad dated and slow) made sure our days got off to a good start! The WiFi was mostly reliable; nothing that a reboot of the router did not solve. There are several great fruit trees in the yard including star fruit, papaya, and banana.
Sue and Nick were very responsive and friendly; they are great hosts!
