"Stayed here for 5 nights with our family of four and we loved the unit. Our favorite was the view from the balcony and proximity to local farmers markets. Kids loved playing on the rocks. We stayed here during the Kona storm and lost power for about half a day but really appreciated all the supplies in the unit from flashlights to coolers to the beach chairs. Lovely property and excellent host, very responsive to all our questions! "
