This place was nice and comfy and just as described. We spent a lot of our afternoons just relaxing at the apartment between snorkeling and night dives. It is in a great location and pretty close to town but you do need a car on the Big Island either way. If you want an affordable, well kept place, in a good location away from all the tourists this is a great option. The lanai has a pretty nice view of the ocean but is obstructed by power lines. The place has a fair amount of noise with the main driveway right below the lanai/bedroom windows and a window to another unit right by the entrance. The friendly people that live there are all going about their daily lives, which isn't a problem, but it does contribute noise to the atmosphere. Just bring some ear plugs and all is well. The neighbors were all very welcoming and offered great advice and use of their equipment/gear. We would certainly recommend this place and stay there again.
