This listing is NOT by the beach as pictures may seem. It's actually up in the mountain area. However, location is still pretty convenient with stores and gas stations near as well as restaurants, however it is NOT near the Queen's Marketplace Waikoloa. Pretty chill place to stay at. Had issues with visitor pass for our car rental because there was no one available at the front desk area even after attempting to contact Evan at the front desk, he responded after our trip was concluded. However Julia is very helpful and answers emails prompt which helped a lot.
