We had a great week on the big island. Our family has visited the island several times but this was our first time to stay here. The apartment was very clean and spacious. The kitchen was a little small but that was not a surprise as the photos and descriptions had already shared this. It was still adequate as we cooked most of our meals there! The view from the lanai was beautiful, the house sits on a large property. It’s is up on the hill a little ways so that made for slightly cooler weather- we were there in February and needed a light sweater/long sleeve to sit outside in the morning. The host was friendly and quick to answer any question. Even though this apartment is above the family home, it still felt very private and quiet! We would definitely recommend the spot and would return!
