Great location! We could walk right to the beach. Two more amazing beaches, Carlsmith and Richardson Beach just a short distance away. We saw and swam with sea turtles at Carlsmith Beach. The large open & screened in lanai at Denise's place was very fun to sleep in. We went to sleep every night listening to the coqui frogs and woke to the music of birds every morning from the beautiful jungle garden right outside. There is a full kitchen to use where we could cook fresh food from the local farmers market. Lots of yummy places to eat out close by too. Our host had great information and magazines available for things to see and do. Denise's place makes a great home base to explore the big island of Hawaii.
