Our two bedroom two bath unit was delightful. Although not on the beach, it is only a 15 minute drive downhill to the beach at Mauna Kea, which is spectacular. The two-story unit was spacious, private, thoughtfully and tastefully furnished and decorated, had great views and was convenient to the town of Waimea for shops and restaurants. Marc was a most accommodating host. We did not want to do any serious cooking so a couple of butane countertop burners, a microwave, toaster oven and minifridge sufficed. An outdoor grill was also available. What could be improved? An in-unit laundry would be great; the communal laundry was somewhat inconvenient and often busy. One caveat: The upstairs bathroom does not have a proper shower, only a spa tub (not functional) with a handheld shower-- very awkward and not very satisfactory.
