This location is so very central to so much that Hawaii has to offer. I enjoyed 3 nights here exploring the West beaches and Northern points. Do know that it is not walking distance to anything for me as a tourist, but driving 5 minutes to groceries and a restaurant or two, 15 to 20 minutes drive to awesome beaches. 20 mins to Waimea , 40 minutes to downtown Kona. You will get a beautiful quiet sleep and on to your next day. Have fun.
