This condo is a great alternative to staying in one of the hotels nearby. The kitchen allowed us to cook meals for the entirety of our stay however the closest full service grocery store is quite a distance away (KTA in Waikoloa or Safeway in Kailua). The temperature in the unit is perfect when you follow the directions for opening the doors and windows.
We toured the entire island using this as a launch point. You are close to many great beaches, have a short drive to Hilo, can easily day trip to Volcano National Park, and can even travel to Green Sand Beach for the day.
