Sarah’s place is a perfect spot on the island to use as a home base for family adventures. A-bay (10 min. down the road) is a great family friendly place to end the day and access to both sides of the island is easy from Waikoloa. The apartment has a lot of extra amenities like a cooler, access to washer/dryer, and extra water jugs that made it really easy for our family to leave for the day. One note, as of Dec. 19 the community pool is being renovated so if that is something you are banking on plan accordingly (we didn’t miss it at all). The food court Thai and Filipino spots are good.
