Inside a gated community, felt quite safe, and walking distance to local shops/restaurants/coffee which is great. Having a rental car is a must to go to the Volcanoes, and into Kona, but the location of the villa was great! Great concierge team, who were so helpful in recommending activities which really made a difference to the stay. Good size kitchen to make breakfast each morning with all the little bits and bobs needed. Very happy, thanks!
