The place is in a great location. Gas station, great market, and restaurants within a few minutes drive. It is a very breezy area and the pool is right in your "backyard". We never encountered an issue with the parking, even though they are not numbered as the rental description stated. The place is big and comfortable for a family of 5 and has a closet full of beach accessories which is a plus. The kitchen is equipped with pots, pans, dishes, utensils and some basic seasonings. There is a washer and dryer, just make sure to buy detergent. I would have liked if the place had been cleaned better before our arrival. The bathrooms were not as clean as I would have liked. The upstairs bedroom pillows smelled really bad. That made me think the bed sheets weren't washed after the last occupants so I had to wash everything to sleep better. Also there is a problem not only with ants but also roaches. I went to bed fearing a nasty huge roach on the ceiling would fall on top of me at night. It was always on the same spot for several nights until my husband was able to kill it. After that I spotted many smaller roaches around the place, especially the kitchen. There are geckos and some salamanders, but they weren't inside the house. They stay outside on the porch if you keep the screen door closed. Also the geckos make loud sounds at night, just like a bird, which was something new to me. The place is within 20 minutes of amazing beaches, hikes, and restaurants. You'll find all those amazing places with a Google search. Overall we enjoyed our stay and had a great time exploring tha Big Island.
