We had a great time and communication with Julie was great. The house is big and comfortable, plenty of room for all of us, both inside and out. The upstairs kitchen and lanai was great any time of day, plenty of breeze, birds chirping, and a beautiful view of palms, papayas, banana trees, and others. Even though it was in a cul-de-sac with neighbors all around, it was quiet and felt very private, from upstairs, downstairs porch, the pool deck, and the lawn.
The amenities were also very nice. Plenty of rooms and chairs to spread out or hang out together. We made use of just about everything provided in the closet under the stairs - beach chairs, cooler, cornhole boards, ponchos (for the volcano tour and a coffee farm - evidently it rains there a lot).
The pool is big and it was great to have that when we weren't at the beach, or just wanted to relax at the house. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas to hang around at the pool any time of day. There are plenty of beach towels/mats, which cuts down on luggage.
The 'leave-behinds' were a great addition, and it's nice to be able to leave things behind for the next guest so it doesn't get thrown away. Some refrigerator items, lots of spices for cooking, plenty of things in the pantry, laundry soap, bug spray, sunscreen, etc. We made use of some things we forgot to bring, and left some things we had to buy but did not want to take home.
The kitchen is large and well-equipped; we cooked many meals and had everything we needed.
