I will start by saying that this house and lay out are absolutely gorgeous and has everything you need to enjoy your stay on the island. It is a little out of the way from Kona proper (about 1hr20min) but the view of the ocean and the stars at night totally make up for the very dark windy drive to the house at night. After you do the drive a time or 2 you get used to it.There's plenty of windows to enjoy the cool breeze at night and enjoy your coffee on the lanai in the morning. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable and the view stunning every morning. Here's the only thing that really drove us nuts about the house, the dang roosters! Now as a clarification, they are all over the island not just at the house but there were definitely 3 to 4 that live in the trees right behind the house. You will be woken up between 3 and 4am everyday by them. You will have to acclimate to chicken time to actually get sleep meaning I went to bed at 8pm to be up by 4am. I had earplugs thankfully and the windows will have to be shut in the bedroom and I slept with a sound machine as well. Yes, it's frustrating but by the end of the trip me, Luis, Juan, Miguel, & Blanco were able to cohabitate. Yes, we named them lol!
If these are things that you can deal with then definitely rent this house, you won't be disappointed. Maybe a little sleep deprived, but once you're up and planning your day you'll find that you have everything you need to have fun on the island. Very clean too!
