It's about a 10 min walk to food, beach, shops, and farmers market! The place was beautiful with so many amenities, there's tons of beach supplies available, some workout equipment, comfy furnishings on the porches, and one room had a memory foam bed or topper(which was amazing). There are 2 flights of steps to get to the kitchen and one to get to the bedrooms, after 8+ miles of hiking and snorkeling, you might want to crawl. This house was better than the one we stayed at on the Hilo side as it was much more spacious, shops and food were all open earlier and later than the other side, but make reservations for dinner! I did not know how touristy this side was, and everything was at least a 1-2 hour wait to be seated! Any issues and the host will assist immediately, would definitely return.
