A beautiful home that provides everything needed for entertaining and fun at the beach

- The location is perfect. It's right on the ocean, a short walk to Kahulu'u Beach Park (excellent snorkling), and close to Kona.- The home is exceptionally well-appointed. The managers have thought of every detail in providing kitchen amenities, labels on the cupboards, cleaning and washing equipment, instructions, beach gear including boogie boards, etc.- The home has beautiful architecture that allows for full enjoyment of the outdoors. The front door opens up into an open courtyard with only tree branches above. The dining table, a sitting room, and lanai are outside but are covered by a roof. The kitchen/living room area is enclosed by floor-to-ceiling wood sliding doors that allow it to be opened up to let the cool ocean breezes through. The three bedrooms (each with A/C) are across the courtyard from the kitchen/living room.- The information provided by the managers was very helpful. The check-in was very smooth and they even allowed us to check in early when we asked.- There was only one negative aspect: mosquitos. Because so much of the house is outdoors, and because there were no screens in the kitchen/living room area, some family members ended up with a lot of mosquito bites even though we used the mosquito zappers and coils provided. We tried keeping the doors closed in the kitchen/living room area (which has a ceiling fan and two floor fans), but it felt hot so we opened them again.

This property is beautiful. The ocean view is stunning! The location is great- close to restaurants, shopping, grocery store, farmers market and more. The management company and property manager were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. There were just a few minor things that kept me from giving a "perfect 5 star" rating. The front door was pretty tricky to operate and lock every time we left. While I understand that the "open concept" living will make it difficult to keep floors in the main area clean- our bathroom floors were very dirty the day we arrived- not sure if they were missed during cleaning?? There is an area rug in the master bedroom that is fraying and pieces are coming off and a corner is very raised causing me to trip every time I walked across it- it really should be replaced. Also, the bedroom on the "road side" of the house experienced loud traffic until about 1-2am every night. Again, overall, we enjoyed this property and would recommend it. The view alone was everything!!!

Beautiful property, loved the open air nature of the shared spaces and the closeness of the ocean. Communication and service was wonderful.
