This is the perfect place to stay while on the Big Island. You have quick access to the local town, beaches, and can easily use it as a base while driving and visiting all the sites on the island. Additionally, it is calm and peaceful; you go to sleep with the breeze and stars, and wake up to the local roosters and serenity. It's also got a fantastic view of the sunset from the lanai. Rachel & Hailey also provide in the house some beach essentials (chairs, towels, sand toys, boogie boards, etc.). My 5 year old absolutely loved the toys. It is a townhouse so there may be other guests next door but everything is well separated and we had no issue whatsoever. I highly recommend you stop your search and book your stay here. I hope to come back soon and will be staying here again!
