This condo was perfect for our family of 4. We wanted to explore and enjoy adventures all over the island, but it was important to have this clean, comfortable, functional home base to start and end our days in. We loved being able to cook real breakfasts and dinners in the kitchen (which had all the cooking equipment we could desire), to avoid the need for restaurant time, expense, and excess. We also loved having the pool and hot tub for a quick option at the end of the day. It's not a pool area that we'd typically want to spend all day in, but that was perfect because it supported us in our goal to get out there and see lots of different beaches and trails. Then if we wanted to take a dip when we got back in the afternoon, the pool was perfect for a couple of hours of fun. The beds and bathrooms were comfortable, and everything was clean.
There were boogie boards, beach chairs, a beach mat, some snorkeling gear, and sand toys already at the condo, and the host provides a set of beach towels as well. My only comment to the host would be that it would be more helpful if they'd let folks know ahead of time what equipment was at the house and what condiments / spices were in the kitchen. This saves people from having to pack or buy that type of stuff before they get to the house - which is really important. If I'd known there would be boogie boards, I wouldn't have bought one at CostCo (and I contributed it to the stack, so there are now 3 at the house). I asked about this ahead of time and Kona Coast said they couldn't confirm one way or the other. It's not a huge deal, but I do wish there were a system where they could just let us know what's there. Saves us some extra trouble and money.
It was a spectacular trip, and a wonderful, cozy place to stay -- very happy with the trip!
