The location was great. The room was clean, and just as pictured. Loved having the AC. They had all of the major necessities, like shampoo, soap, etc, so if you forget to bring it, they have that available. They have a tv there, which was great because I had two young kids with me and I needed to use it to distract them while getting things ready. They have some beach accessories like snorkle gear and chairs, which came in handy. We used them at onekehana beach, not too far from carlsmith beach(it was too crowded) and we still swam with a sea turtle there. Because we had the snorkle gear, I was able to see it underwater. The hosts were nice and sweet, and gave me some tourist site recommendations for my family. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the big island.
