Staying in the Garden view studio was like having our own place on the Big Island. It was private (even though the owner lives above it) and it is in a beautiful area. The space was well laid out and it was easy to cook a good meal in the kitchen (gas oven!!!!). It was a short walk (20 min) to Kahena beach, and it is a short drive to amazing snorkelling in the Kapoho tide pools and a hot dip in the Ahalanui park hot pool.
