This was a great location for the last half of our visit to the big island to check out the beaches along the west side of the island. The place was lovely with everything we could hope for and provided a nice haven to recoup before venturing back into the sun. Walkable or a short uber ride to downtown with shops and food. We slept great here and the noise from the road wasn’t too bad. The barbecue area was very clean and easy to use. Check in/out was easy and and parking was never an issue. The actual sand beach outside is small and rocky. We mainly saw locals (we think) on boogie/surf boards riding the waves there with the occasional sea turtle spotting. Didn’t seem like a good place for novices to get in while we were there. That being said Wendy’s snorkeling recommendations were on point with detailed instructions on how to avoid the overcrowded spots- my expectations were exceeded! Beach gear provided was a huge bonus. This is a great home base on the west side with a super host who truly goes above and beyond.
