Christmas 2009
A Guest from Bainbridge Island, WA recommends this property
Stayed 7 days in December, 2009
Perfect location on the Big Island, especially for those looking to take advantage of a wide array of activities. Snorkeling, beaches, golf and the town of Kailua all within close proximity. Also, for those looking to do their own cooking, local and well stocked markets including Safeway,a farmer's market and a local supermarket are within easy reach. Having the pool was a plus and it was quite refreshing. House accommodated 8, of which 4 were adults, 3 were grown children and 1 child all fit comfortably. Good and spacious family room and the dining table accommodated all at meals. Washer and dryer turned out to be a very helpful and much used amenity, especially given our focus on beach, snorkeling and pool activities.
Kitchen was serviceable and met all our needs but could have been a bit better equipped. The coffee grinder didn't work and we could have used a steamer for vegetables, salad spinner. The outside barbecue was out of gas and we couldn't tell if it worked even if it had fuel. Frankly, these are mostly quibbles in what turned out to be a comfortable rental that met pretty much all our needs.
All in all, as a family we regard this as one of our best vacations.
