Talk about paradise!!
This condo is in the absolute best location. It is on the fourth floor of the building which means the views, especially during sunset, are absolutely amazing. It is right on Ali'i drive which is a convenient location if you enjoy running, biking, or just walking around. It is exactly two miles to the main shops and stores and less than a half a mile away walk from a little market that sells fruit, souvenirs and has an amazing shaved ice stand called Gecko Shaved Ice. Also, practically attached to the condo building is Da Poke Shack which has delicious fresh Ahi and I definitely went more than once.
The condo itself is modern, beachy & seems recently updated. All the appliances are nice and the host provides you with everything you would need for a long stay and more. We cooked a couple of meals at the condo and the kitchen is very nice. Some special touches that surprised me included: binoculars on the balcony to help spot sea turtles and watch the boats pass by, a cooler bag which was perfect for bringing produce back from our day trip to the Hilo Saturday Market & extra large beach towels. The host provided a little guest book with restaurant recommendations and we went to Jackie Rey's and it was our favorite meal while on vacation.
The master bedroom is my favorite part because even while laying in bed you have an ocean view. The sliding glass doors open from the master bedroom to the condo living room allowing you to have a nice ocean breeze at all hours of the day. We ate breakfast on the balcony everyday at the table and I read my book on the balcony in the lounge chairs. The pool and hot tub are close to the room and never seemed too busy.
This condo is great for either a romantic getaway or a family vacation because there is guest bedroom that we didn't use. I will definitely be returning!!
