Our parents, Mick and Annie, bought this house in 1991. My sister and I grew up in this home and we are incredibly grateful to be able to maintain it as a place that our family can always return to and a place that visitors can enjoy as well. Our mom, Annie, always said that if we werenât able to be there enjoying the house, she liked to know that other families could be. She loved to hear the sound of people laughing, BBQing in the backyard and splashing in the pool. It has always been more than a house. Weâve called it home for 35 years.
Mom (Annie) kept the home as a primary residence for many years after my sister and I moved away and our dad passed. Years ago, she converted the garage into a downstairs apartment where she lived happily with her dog, Georgie, and her cat, Blanche. She rented the upstairs as a VRBO for many years, until her recent passing.
Our mom took great joy in being a part of the Kona experience for her guests. She enjoyed sharing her love for Kona and her aloha spirit, whether you were first time guests or lifelong friends, she treated you the same. Me and my sister, Aimee, hope to fill her shoes the best we can. We hope to make everyone feel like a welcomed guest in our beloved home and cultivate the love of Kona that our mom did for all those years. That is our momâs legacy. We hope you love Annieâs Hale as much as we do â€ïž
With aloha,
Sarah Reece
