We really enjoyed the ocean views and convenience of this condo. Since it is on the ground floor, we were able to step outside any time we liked, and the grounds and pool area were a big selling point for us. We hit Costco on the way home from the airport and we cooked many meals in the well-stocked kitchen and on the grill by the pool. We decided to pay for air conditioning and it made it less humid and more comfortable for hanging out and sleeping. We highly recommend this unit and we'll consider staying here again if we come back to the Big Island.
