My husband and I had a lovely stay at Alice's apartment at Kealakekua Bay. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Wi-Fi worked great. Alice was a generous inclusive host, while not being intrusive. She had many tips for local beaches and things to do, and invited us to go swim with the dolphins with her.
The house is in a sweet spot: a short distance walk to a local's swimming and snorkling spot, Mahini Beach. This also has a fantastic sunset watching spot. A short walk the other direction to another beach- this one rocky and without an easy water access. A short drive to two-steps beach, a fantastic snorkling spot. Walking distance to a kayak rental business.
A 10-15 minute drive up the hill for groceries and resturants.
If we get back to the big island, we will definitely stay with Alice again!
