This is an outstanding place: I'd definitely recommend it to anyone coming to the Waikaloa part of the big island! It is a private townhouse, large, 20 ft ceilings in the living area, two large bedrooms and a pullout bed in the living room, and as the pictures show is very well decorated. Simply put, it is just fun to hang out in when away from activities (which was great for Christmas!). It also has a beautiful patio that we used every evening for dinner. For us, the private access to the beach was perfect: you could either drive or bike there (ca. 1.5 miles), which we did nearly every day, and not have to worry about beach chairs: just bring a towel and snorkeling gear. On a side note, we stayed in several parts of the island, and found this area the best for our family: it has most of the best beaches (e.g. Hapuna), lots of sun, and access to the rest. Thanks Overall, I would absolutely recommend this to anyone coming to the Big Island.
