Great location to start our Big Island vacation. We spent 3 nights in this cozy loft above Kai's place. The inside is comfy, clean and a good size. Kai was so friendly and easy to communicate with and helpful with hints of where to go. It's a quiet residential neighborhood that made us feel like locals.
We loved the location just a couple minute's walk from Manini Beach park, a sweet, never-crowded neighborhood park with a small beach area, good snorkeling and sunsets to die for. Kai had snorkeling gear to use while there & although we brought our own masks and snorkels, we appreciated being able to use the flippers he provided. Looked like there was other gear there too, like boogie boards, etc, but we didn't use them. It's also within walking distance of the main kayak rentals for Captain Cook area, so we easily walked there for our 8:00 am kayak rental. And it's a short 15 minute drive to Two Step beach which had awesome snorkeling, including seeing a manta ray.
It's a 15 minute drive to restaurants and grocery stores, so good to pick up some groceries before you arrive.
