This place was in a great safe location about 15-20 min away from some Waikoloa resorts where they have restaurants and shops. If you are doing some activities on the Hilo side, expect 1hr 30min drive so plan accordingly. Kona is a 45 min drive so the location was a bit far from a lot of things but still doable! We’re from California so we are used to the driving. A beach we enjoyed was Hapuna State Beach where we enjoyed the boogie boards from the airbnb and some snorkeling gear. They also had coolers at the airbnb and lots of beach towels so you can save space in your suitcase! Overall, it was an amazing trip and stay. Noelani was a quick responder and had some brochures at the airbnb with more activities that we also enjoyed. Would definitely stay here again!
