We had a truly lovely 5 nights at Maryanne’s place. As advertised the condo packs a lot into a small place and has everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. Bed was amazingly comfortable and we loved the small private beach where we could see whales breaching.
Purpose of trip from Australia was for me to cycle up Mauna Kea from Waikoloa (accomplished) and rest of time relax in the sun which we did.
One tip for future renters is that in our opinion hiring a car is an absolute necessity. 35-40 min walk to town along a busy road with no side walk isn’t ideal and the supermarket is more like 45-50 mins at best. The small shop next door for supplies is ridiculously over-priced. Get a car to explore the rest of the island and other beaches too (maybe most Americans do this - as we’re not from the US perhaps we didn’t understand this for a beach vacation).
Thanks Maryanne for your hospitality. A great stay!
