I enjoyed a really easy and relaxed stay at David and Masako's apartment. Lovely comfy bed and lots of little extra touches that made my time there special, like use of Masako's yoga mat and yoga space, and breezy chairs on the decking to enjoy the sound of the ocean from!
They both went out of their way to help me and make me feel welcome. Thank you / Mahalo!
Location wise I'd recommend a hire car to get around as the trolley bus is nearby but infrequent. The apartment has an allocated parking space which is great.
However if on foot there were some beautiful little beach areas along Ali'i drive in walking distance, Magic Sands just down the road, and of course the legendary Poke Shack just moments away for the best Poke on the Island.
All in all a wonderful place from which to experience the Big Island with tranquility, privacy and space to relax and feel good.
