Six women - grandmother, 2 daughters. three 30-something granddaughters spent a week in this spacious open-to- the-world house. Walk out from first floor bedroom onto deck of infinity pool, edge often lined with colorful birds drinking and bathing. Better still, down 8 steps, across a patch of grass onto beach and into the sea, home to local turtles. No problem here for 90 year old with bad knees. Four big bedrooms, tv room makes adequate bedroom for kids or adult who wants to be outside all day anyway. House front opens almost completely to the ocean and we never closed those big shutters, night nor day in mid April. Owners keep bugs away for the most part by spraying when we weren't there. Current concierge Nathalie a gem of helpfulness. We splurged extra on chef Rio for 4 nights of sunset drinks on beach and candlelit dinners on porch. Could we nit-pick things like a deck too hot to navigate without shoes? We weren't looking for 5 star elegance; we wanted and GOT a 5 star experience!

This was our fourth visit to the house and first time with the new owners. We were glad to see all the old charms remain and everything has been kept in good condition. The yard felt more open and spacious with some of the foliage trimmed back, so our boys were able to enjoy a lot of soccer and frisbee.
The well-stocked kitchen is huge and was able to accommodate all our cooking.
We always talk about taking excursions on the Big Island, but once we're there, the house is so wonderful, we never want to leave.

The property was just amazing. It exceeded expectations. The privacy of the property was perfect for our family of 10. Allowed for us to swim whenever we wanted, enjoy the sunsets from the beach, and lots of family dinners at the outdoor dining area. Highly recommend

Pictures do not do this stunning house and location justice. The Jenny House does not disappoint. This is my 3rd visit and I really hope it won’t be the last. To arrive is to instantly relax and feel the Aloha spirit move you. Thanks for a truly restorative and fun filled week.

Some distance from the main city and shopping. The beach was somewhat rocky with not a very good place to swim. The bed in the master bedroom needs to be replaced. The bed slops down to a point where you almost fall off. Also, I woke up was a sore back every morning. The house is perfect for a large family, particularly with children.
