It's a nice place and we'd stay here again. Kona Vacation Rentals did a great job of keeping us informed, check in, etc. It's a really nice place in a nice location for sure. We have three kids and the loft was perfect.
It has a nice golf course view and you can sit on the deck and provide your own critique as golfers tee off just yards away. Also, it's on the dark side of the complex, so you get a night sky view without the light pollution from Kings/Queens shops. Lot's of stars out at night.
The only real negative with the silverware and pan situation. It's not good. There are like four small forks, five regular sized forks, four teaspoons and four tablespoons. LOL. No, I'm not kidding. We made due and (although I thought about it), it wasn't enough for me to deduct a star. We had a great time as always when we come, the place is clean, the concierge was great and helped us book an awesome manta ray snorkel with the whole family (thanks David), so overall, it was great.
As others have noted, the garage won't fit a minivan. that said, in 12 days we never had an issue finding visitor parking, so no problem there. And yes, there are beach chairs and 1) boogie board. We bought a few cheapie board from Walmart for the other two kids and left them in the garage for others to use as well as a couple of new Tommy Bahama costco chairs that were given to us by other vacationers who were heading home.
Have fun!
Aloha and Mahalo for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We will definitely replace the silverware. We hope to have you back on Big Island again!
