Gorgeous ocean-view house with perfect layout for two couples or a family with kids. Even more stunning in person than in the photos. Located in a peaceful, out of the way neighborhood right across from the ocean. We loved sitting on the lanai every morning with a cup of coffee and watching the waves, listening to the birds, and spotting seals popping their heads out of the water. The waves crashing at night were the perfect white noise to fall asleep to. The house was spotless and stocked with everything you could possibly need - especially appreciated the travel cooler, kitchen tools and towels. Mini Split AC units in the bedrooms if you need them. Great communication from the host, Gregg. The house is located at the bottom of a steep, winding road. We had no trouble navigating it in our rented SUV, but you'll want to consolidate sightseeing and shopping trips to avoid driving up and down multiple times per day. Once you get to the house, you won't want to leave anyway. Located about 45 min south of Kailua-Kona and 25 min south of Captain Cook (nearest neighborhood with grocery and restaurants). Do stock up on groceries on your way to the house. The Choice Mart in Captain Cook was well-stocked, but plenty of options in Kona too. Stop at the South Kona Fruit stand for fresh fruit and baked goods. Nearby restaurants close early, so plan ahead. Recommended activities: Volcano Nat'l Park, Mauna Kea summit & star tour, sea turtles at Punaluʻu Beach, and coffee tours.
