Had an amazing experience on our first visit to Hawaii. The condo was in a great location , close to beaches, amenities , restaurants. The condo had everything we needed and more . Providing guests with beach equipment was a bonus as we found out that most travelers we met in the condo unit and others renting that those items for them were not available. Being 6 min away from Hapuna beach was a bonus as that was our must favourite beach of all. If you want waves to play in that is the best one. Thankyou Martin for your speedy responses to our calls and messaging when we needed to contact you. We have already recommended your home to travelers we met on the beach. Suggestions we found that may be helpful to future guests: 1:Def shop at Costco when you first arrive for the bulk of your food. 2: for dry goods, shop target or Walmart 3: if you need to pop in for items you forgot we found in the area Mauna Lani ( 1 min drive north of waikola on way to hapuna) food land has good prices. 3: def take in Thursday night 7 pm luau show in Mauna Lani shopping area. Get there early is crowded 4: take a sunset cruise with paradise sailing on their 45' catamaran.... one of our highlights. 5: def take blue Hawaiian out of Hilo heli tour over volcano. 6: favourite beach- Hapuna just 6 miles north of waikola. We drive past hapuna beach turn off and took next right into hapuna beach golf course. When you get to the guard tower ask for a beach parking pass. Drive down the Rd under the tunnel and take first left. Drive till you see the gate and turn right into parking lot. Walk down path to get to the beach. This parking area will save you 5$ every time you want to go to the beach. ( local told us about it) tourists don't know about it. 7: HAVE TO: book reservation at Lava Lava beach club down the street. Omg! Best food, best view, amazing sunset 8: eat at tropics ale house from 3-5. Amazing food and appies during happy hour 9: book reservation at Jackie Rays...
