This is an excellent location to use as a base as the island of Hawai i is explored. The view from the hillside over the ocean towards the west as the Sun goes down is indescribable. Make sure your memory card has lots of space on it when you see the radiant colors and changing scenes.
A grocery store is just minutes away for purchasing any/all the commodities you'd want to have and eat. A Costco is available for larger purchases and it has the least expensive gas on the island. This location is well worth the cost and the sunsets will be on our flash drive for ages.
