First, some context - we were a family of five with parents and three late teenagers. I travel a lot for work - so I have seen a lot of hotels. As well, we have stayed in dozens of rental homes across the Americas and Europe. All this as background when I say this is one of the nicest rentals we have ever stayed in. The host is super helpful and quick to respond to questions or special requests. The home is WELL stocked - from the pantry staples you need to virtually any cooking tool. They even have a BBQ on the patio (very rare)! They have every variety of beach toy (towels, chairs, bogie boards, coolers, snorkel gear and even a surf board when we were there)! The home is set home more like your home with a Bosch dishwasher and LG fridge, and a front load washer/dryer in the master bedroom. The patio/lanai is massive and very nicely furnished- we spent a lot of time out there. The view is great - and we were even able to watch Hilton fireworks from the lanai. All of the furniture was comfortable- again think like your home not a cheap rental. I could keep going - but I think you get the picture. We are very particular travelers and we’re very pleased with this home. Yes, there were a few personal preference items that I would do differently- but honestly in context they don’t warrant mentioning. Final thought - the day passes to the Hilton were a very nice touch we used them several times.It the home is available, and you can afford it - book it!!

What a beautiful home to enjoy while visiting the Big Island. In the morning you can sip your Kona coffee on the lanai while watching the golfers across the old lava flow. If you choose to cook, the kitchen has everything you need. The hostess was gracious and quick to answer any need. The amenities are very lovely if you choose to swim, workout or play some tennis. The best part was the quick walk to a beautiful beach! I would stay again in a heartbeat.
