This was a dream vacation for our group and the house did not dissapoint! Wow! A view to die for, plenty of room for our party of 8, a great kitchen, and a great pool and playroom for the kids. The neighborhood is gated and peaceful. We spent many an hour on the lanai and in the beautiful pool. There are 5 bedrooms. Two upstairs are connected by a bathroom suite-style, one with en suite off of the playroom, one downstairs with en suite that is accessed from the patio (no interior door), and the beautiful master with the most amazing shower you have ever seen! The master is also "detached" and has access from the lanai or from it's own exterior door. All of the bedrooms have air conditioning but the main part of house does not. It does have a wall of screened pocket doors out to the lanai and plenty of windows. The house was comfortable all day in 88 degree weather if we were careful to put the shades down in late afternoon when the sun comes right in the front (gorgeous sunsets!). There are many ceiling fans to keep the breeze flowing too. Granted, we are fom the South but it never got too warm unless we forgot the shades. Honestly we spent most of our time outside anyway!The house is within striking distance of both Waimea and Waikoloa for shopping and supplies and not too far from Kona proper, 45 mins or so.The owner is great. Very responsive and helpful.We all felt so rejuvenated after our stay here. Thank you Julie for letting us share your little slice of paradise!
