Our family vacation (three generations comprised of 7 adults and 4 children ages 3-10) in this property was amazing. The townhouse is large, open, and beautiful. The home offers every amenity from superbly-stocked kitchen (spices and mustard!) and bathrooms (shampoo and makeup remover!) and laundry room (detergents, endless towels and 2 dryers!), to linens, electronics, board games, pool floaties, and beach toys. The auxiliary bedding (roll always and fold out sofa in bedroom) is appropriate for children ages 8 and under. The house is quiet, the view incredible and, of course, the small, lit backyard pool and lounge chairs are perfect for morning coffee, watching the kids swim, and evening cocktails. If youâre lucky enough to be there over the 4th of July, the lanai is the perfect place to view the resortâs fireworks display. For a luxury rental, the furniture overall is family friendly (and actually showing a bit of wear on chairs inside and out). The two golf carts for accessing the club house* or for beach access at Mauna Kea are perfect! The golf clubs in the garage were marginally adequate for the practice golf course so if youâre serious about golf, bring your own. The property managers were available, communicative and helpful prior to arriving and during the stay. Iâd strongly recommend paying the daily resort fees and we particularly enjoyed the beach and pools at the Hapuna Westin. The views and beaches at both resorts are breathtaking.
*The on-property clubhouse and amenities are awesome (fitness center, pool, cabanas, practice golf course). Unfortunately the clubhouse personnel is as politely UNfriendly as possible in an effort to discourage renters (vs owners) from using the serene, spa-like environment.
