We were extending our trip to the Big Island by a week and felt lucky to find this home still available for Christmas. The bedrooms are all good sized and comfortable with fans in each.
With no AC, the fans were a big help and much needed. Even that late in the year, it was still pretty warm. The decor is top notch - very stylish and attractive...and the kitchen is very well equipped - we loved cooking there.
The deck out back faces the ocean and has a large dining table and umbrella plus other chairs for you to just sit out and take in the view. We ate outside all the time. Lovely. A friendly neighborhood cat came by for some food and water and kept us company. Very sweet.
The home is easy to find and very comfortable, but do listen to the owners when they say that the winds can kick up. Our last night was spent on the dark when high winds blew sand in through the door, knocked over a lamp, and ultimately knocked out the power for 12 hours. It was uncommonly bad - 2100 homes list power that night...but that has nothing to do with the rental - they didn't create the windstorm.
Nicely located minutes from the Mauna Kea resort where there are nice publicly accessible beaches and a couple of nice restaurants and the ice cream shop at Kawaihae is awesome. It's also a pretty short drive to Waimea, so it's easy to do little excursions.
If you absolutely have to have sure conditioning, this may not be for you, but we loved it.
