We found this stay to be an ideal Big Island vacation spot. The condo was well-appointed with everything you need for your stay (including copious amounts of snorkel/beach/pool equipment for all ages). The lanai was so lovely and what you don't see in the photos is that it backs onto a beautiful lawn and beautiful grove of trees. Wonderful for the kiddo to run around in every morning. The grounds at the facility are beautiful. It was so nice to have a walking path along the water, access to a private beach, and the main feature for our family was the pool that was perfect for all of us. The location really can't be beat. We booked it without knowing anything about the Big Island, and found we were perfect driving distance to Kona, to many of the main beaches and State Parks, to a number of the farmer's markets, and easy access to coastal driving both North and South. There is a shopping center nearby with grocery and drug store and some restaurants and great coffee shop. Great!
