Great location! Walking distance to many delicious places to eat. The place itself met our basic needs (bonus: had a towel for shower as well as beach for each of us). We rented a car while we stayed at Kirk and Sarah’s place and it was easy to get to the North beaches that we wanted to visit (just less than an hour drive to Hapuna) as well as the east side to Hilo (~2 hours). Although we never met Kirk and Sarah, they were very accommodating and helped answer several of our questions as well as allow us to have a late check out which we really appareciate!
