Bill’s place was awesome for a trip to the big island. Near downtown for eating and shopping, and in the middle of most beach spots you’d want to hit. Grocery right around the corner was convenient for urgent things (but it’s expensive!!). Definitely hit Costco and/or Walmart on your way into town.
Also - this was not in any of the reviews before us this summer, but this complex - specifically the area where this condo is - has coqui frogs. If you are not familiar with them, Google “coqui frogs sound.” The males make a call that is around 90 decibels and sounds exactly like someone setting their car alarm. They are nocturnal and “chirp” incessantly all night long. There is a lovey coqui dude right outside the front bedroom window, and we had no idea what the sound was our first night. I was up at 4 am with my little gal. We thought someone had a problem with their car alarm… then we thought it was a weird nocturnal bird… then we learned about the coqui frogs. We had to buy a loud fan for our little gal to sleep the other nights. Bill was apologetic and reimbursed our fan and gave suggestions, which we appreciated. There isn’t much to do about a natural issue outside. He checked with management and they are aware of the issue and looking into trying to eradicate them. If you have a trip booked soon, I’d follow up to see where they are at with that.
Other than the evening frog, we had a great stay and would recommend Bill’s place.
