We enjoyed our stay at this home. It was nice being in a more local/ less touristy spot. Having beach gear and cooking supplies at the home was a definite perk. Please be aware of the coqui (frogs). I learned they are everywhere on the Big Island, so the frogs aren't specific to this property. However with the older structure of the home, you can't really shut the noise out so be prepared for that. Again, no fault of the property but a good heads up. Food options weren't super close, but also not far enough to be overly inconvenient. Great beaches to explore nearby. The neighbors were friendly and even dropped off some fruit which we super appreciated at. Overall I would recommend staying here if you like staying off the beaten path.
