The studio at Coconut Palms is spacious for our family. The kitchenette in the room is well equipped for simple meals. Sink for dish washing is outside downstairs, but the nice weather hardly makes it a chore. As previous reviews mentioned, the house is located in a quiet costal residential area, in proximity of many sites to see and things to do. I do have to agree with a previous review that the wall is a bit thin. While you can enjoy critters chirping and singing you to sleep, the walls can barely block out the sound of say loud snoring or small child crying. We are a bit worried at times that our conversations might disturb the neighbors. Overall it's been a pleasant experience, we would love to stay at Susan and Andre's property again for our return visit to the Big Island!
