Hayden is a very welcoming host. His place is very conveniently located. We were able to access many of the local attractions and beaches without having to travel too long. Hayden’s place is fully stocked including beach chairs, beach umbrellas, towels for the beach and a cooler for day trips.
We suggest you make a stop at Walmart in Kona prior to driving to Waikoloa Village. The groceries are more expensive at the local grocer. You can also pick up Hawaiian souvenirs for a much reduced cost at the Walmart; including black salt.
There are many restaurants nearby but our suggestion is to drive to kona for better value. The local restaurants are all overpriced.
There is a pool available; however we did not take advantage of it as our days were filled with whale watching, volcano visiting, snorkelling and a few of the other sights.
I would have given Hayden five stars, but the beds are lacking in comfort.
I recommend Hayden’s place for all the amenities and a great home base for your Hawaiian adventure!
