Our family of five enjoyed our stay at Guardwell Farms very much. The apartment was clean and well appointed, the property was attractive and quiet, and the location was perfect for our active itinerary. We also enjoyed the spacious veranda for dinner and for relaxing. A tiny critique is that the light in the bathrooms was inadequate to do eyebrows or get out a splinter. Otherwise, I can't think of anything that wasn't perfect. I'd recommend this rental to anyone planning a vacation to the Big Island.
