This was a great central place to stay for a month with kiddos-- short drive to the beach (15min to A-Bay for sunsets/20min to beach 69 for snorkeling), farmer's markets in Waimea (30min; Wed and Sat), Kona airport (35min), Costco in Kona (45min; go-to for gas and groceries) and even Hilo (75min; rec the rainforest zoo). Shane and Danni were very responsive and knowledgeable hosts (just upstairs) and have filled the surprisingly spacious apartment with plenty of books, games and beach gear to suit most needs. Kitchen is cozy but functional, and the BBQ out back was great to have on hot afternoons. Fans throughout helped cut the heat and the lanai got tons of use too (great for moon bathing and star gazing). Great community pool too! Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back to the island!
