Great base for accessing the west and north side of the big island. Manua Kea and Hapuna beaches are beautiful and very close by. Nice scenic drive to Pololu Valley only about 45 mins. Just over a half hour drive to/from the Kona airport. Great having beach and snorkeling gear available for use and the outdoor shower was fantastic for rinsing the sold and sand off. Nice place in a good location. Highly recommend and would stay here again.
