This is a sweet spot with cool nights due to the higher elevation. Very close to the best beaches in Kona - also close to the airport, Costco and the good restaurants in Kailua. The view here is better than advertised, the infinity pool is stunning and we slept well with ample fans and comfy beds. The lanai is great for morning coffee, afternoon relaxing or evening drinks - the only sound we heard was from the birds. Great for a family or two couples. The host, although living above us, was amazing at balancing privacy and attention when we needed anything. They have everything you’ll need for the beach including towels, boogie boards, kids toys, bags, coolers and snorkel gear. There is no stove-top in the kitchen but we were allowed to use the huge new grill on the lanai for fish, burgers and veggies. A plug in stove top is also available for making Mac n cheese for kids. I honestly didn’t miss or need a stove and we cooked most nights. The kitchen is well stocked for whatever you want to prepare - and frankly an oven is not very useful in Hawaii. 5 stars all the way, we hope to be back next year.
