It’s a slice of heaven

We decided to try the big island for our annual visit and we all agreed it was not our favorite island. However, we loved the property, we loved the residence’s. They have beautiful views, the beach is amazing, the pool is clean, the waves were fantastic, you can walk out into the ocean 100yrs and still be at your chest. We drove around the entire hell scape of the island and were beyond excited to get home to this property!

The beach on the property was awesome. The guys on the ATV's on the beach need to minimize there trips past the chairs with umbrellas, they went back and forth too much. They also need to travel down the sides of the chairs not through the middle divide of the chairs.
