This was the perfect spot for my husband and I to experience The Big Island. Within 15 minutes of Sandy beaches and lots of food places within 5-7 minutes. We experienced hiking, country drives, city excursions, volcanoes, waterfalls...all under an hour away! Joan also had a beach bag, towels and chairs for us to use the whole trip! She was so helpful in her recommendations! The fridge is very small, so prepare to eat out most every meal.
