Chris's place was absolutely amazing. It was an hour from Hilo and an hour and 20 hour and a half from Kona which was great because we got to explore both sides of the island. It's also 20 minutes from the national volcano park which is really great to see at night during this eruption. We really enjoyed Two Step Beach in Captain Cook Hot Springs South of Hilo. There is a blue book in the condo that has a ton of information on the island and the history of each place on the island that was very useful. I also really appreciated the boogie boards and chairs and umbrella and coolers that were in the closet. Not to mention the best spot to see turtles was in our own backyard on black sand beach. I like highly recommend this place to all my friends and family
