My family and I stayed here for 8 days, and the place was exactly as described - lovely ocean breeze in the mornings, everything you need to cook and be comfortable, easily accessible, and in a cute Historic town. It became our running joke that everything was “about an hour away” when asked “how far is ?”, but let me tell you how convenient it is to have the freedom to choose Hilo, Kona, Keokea, etc on any given morning and know that it’s not a long ride either way. Too bad the beach isn’t accessible by foot, but that’s what a car is for - definitely get one and explore, explore, explore!
