The place is a great home away from home. We are a family of 7 (adults, young adults and older teens)and it provided enough space for everyone to sleep comfortable with fans and air conditioning. They provided plenty of linens and towels in the bathrooms and kitchen use. They had separate towels for the pool which can be used at the beach also. There is a large washer (with soap) and dryer, so packing light was easy because we would do laundry mid-week. The kitchen had more than the basics for a larger family than ourselves(crock pot, blender, plastic containers, various cooking utensils, rice cooker, keurig and coffee pot, dishwasher w/soap) Previous guests left some spices (salt, pepper), oils (canola), dry goods(oatmeal) but nothing was spoiled. They provided a soap bar and we brought our own shampoo. Previous guests left sunscreen and some beach items, but we brought our own. The grocery store is very close (walkable, but up a hill) so it's easy to buy items as needed. This was our first trip to Big Island and we spent all our time here. We did 2-2.5 hr drive day trips to other places like Hilo, Mauna Kea, Waipio Valley. We chose to do it that way so we can settle into one place. The Kona side had plenty to offer also and its a drier side. The property had a volleyball court (we played two nights, fun, soft sand), basketball court (half court, shorter rim), swam in "quiet pool", and their gym is small. We didn't get to try their on-site restaurant. The sunsets from the resort is gorgeous! We had our designated parking spot. There is a place to rinse off beach gear. When I had an issue, the owners were prompt to answer questions and were helpful. I would definitely come back again.
Owners to check on: The rice cooker didn't have a lid?? We were able to use it with foil (big costco roll left behind, thank you!) We only saw one wooden cutting board, additional ones would be helpful. The "Splash" was closed so we ended up having to wash our pool towels.
