Holly's place was just awesome. It's close to restaurants, WalMart, Costco and Makalawena beach, one of the best beaches on the island. It's also conveniently close to the airport. The only thing is that you need a car which is a must on the big island. There's no way to get around it unless you're going to just stay on a resort and not explore all the hiking, snorkeling and wonders the island has to offer.
Holly's place also has AC if you're not used to the island breeze life. She also has a whole bunch of little touches throughout the place that will surprise and delight you. I would definitely like to rent Holly's place again next time I visit.
