We really enjoyed our stay at Melissa's condo.
It was in a great location and super walkable! The Lyft ride from the airport was less than $30 and there were car rental places that were within walking distance from the condo. ( We did rent a car for a few days.)
It was so nice to have a partial view of the ocean. During our stay, we did not have the sun directly on the lanai, yeah!
We felt that our money was well-spent on Melissa's condo on the Big Island.
