This is our 3rd visit to Hale Alaula house. We stayed for 2 weeks. The listing description is 100% accurate in terms of space, layout and amenities provided. The location of this house is the best on the big island. Less than 5 minutes down the hill you will find Starbucks, Walmart and a Safeway supermarket. It is an 8-10 minute drive to Ali'i Drive in Kona where you will find shops, beaches and fabulous restaurants. The house is beautifully decorated, clean, cozy and makes you feel like you're home. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with appliances, pots and pans, coffee maker, dishwasher, plus a washer & dryer. Enjoy a great BBQ on the lanai which has an unobstructed view of the Pacific ocean. Sunsets are stunning! Relax in the backyard after a day of swimming or sightseeing in the hot tub and the outdoor shower you will absolutely love! The owners have gone out of their way to provide boogie boards and snorkel equipment for your use and enjoyment. Flat screen TV's throughout the house, strong WiFi signal and a large library of DVD's. In all of our travels over the years, we have never experienced a more relaxing comfortable home and we plan on returning every year! It"s as if you were in your own home in paradise.
