The apartment is part of a larger complex. Living space is nice and air conditioner is a lifesaver! We really enjoyed having a kitchen to make breakfast every morning.

The arrival was a bit odd. I received an email that check-in time was 4pm and that I could collect a parking permit at the front office. Except the front office closed at 4pm. There is a phone for after hours help but they suggested returning to the front desk first thing next morning at 8am. When I did, the office was still closed. Didn't open till 10am. Apparently there are multiple properties supported by the after hours line and the lady that answered was not on the big island. Once I had the permit, everything else went smoothly.

Walking out the patio and making a right gets you to the ocean in about 15 seconds. We saw several surfers out there every morning.

We really enjoyed taking the folding chairs (stored in the closet) to watch the surf. 3 minute walk is the Royal Kona resort where we went for their Luau. Good food, good drinks. A little further down is Huggo's- really good lobster ravioli!!!

We had to drive to the grocery store but restaurants were always within walking distance.
