The location of Josh's place is phenomenal! Right across the street from Magic Sands Beach and a reasonable walk from several other great beaches (beach gear is available in the closets and parking area lockers too!), it's a perfect jumping off point for all of your Big Island adventuring. The reserved parking is especially nice.
You're about 15 minutes by car from all of the downtown restaurants and shops, and anywhere from five to twenty minutes from the rest of the local restaurant and shopping venues of the area.
The lanai is *huge* and is the perfect setting for morning coffee as you watch the surf (or the pool activity) down below.
This is a community with full time residents, so there is quiet time (didn't bother me a bit, since we were up at sunrise and worn out after each day's outings). There appeared to be quite a few other visitors throughout the complex, but it never felt crowded at any point.
In terms of décor and furnishings, it's got that classic '80s Hawaiian condo vibe (bamboo furniture, local art and posters, etc.) -- nothing too fancy, but quite comfy nonetheless! And on the topic of comfort, the beds were SO comfy! I slept better than I do at home, which is unusual for me, although the ocean breezes and sounds of waves crashing in the distance probably helped too - haha!
All in all, Josh's place is a solid spot if you want a nearby beach, designated parking and a great night's rest, and I'm definitely going to keep this at the top of my list for future visits!
