This was our third year staying at Kristy's place.
The Turtle House is in a great central and convenient location to the airport, all beaches (with Kua Bay and Hapuna Beach State Park one of our favorites), Saddle road to Hilo and trips to Waimea.
Having a full kitchen with stove, oven, fridge, microwave and toaster oven available is a great bonus to choose this place if you like to provide your own meals.
Kristy is a great host and communicator, and we highly recommend the Turtle House if you decide to stay on the Big Island.
