Jeff and Suzanne's place was the perfect home base for launching off to the beach and pool. Just a few steps away and this made all the difference for our family of 4. Hapuna state beach is gorgeous but if you want to find areas to shop or eat or explore the volcano, you'll have to drive anywhere from 15 minutes+. This is something that's typical on Big Island since everything is so spaced apart! We didn't mind too much as we loved starting and ending our day in this beautiful Airbnb. Would recommend, esp for families!
