Catherine condo is very roomy and nice. It's suitable for a long term stay. It's close to everything, accept the beach. Although the condo is right next to the ocean, to get to a nice beach you would have to drive. But that's pretty much anywhere on the Big Island. One has to drive to find a nice beach. There is a pool at the property, and I fink that Catherine forgot to mention in the description. It's very small, but good enough for a dip, on a hot day. I highly recommend staying in this condo.
