This is a great location for your stay on the island. Easy access to beaches, shopping, and the main highway for visiting other parts of the island. The condo was bigger than I had imagined with plenty of room to relax. Plus Brad left us coffee and mangos from his garden! What a treat. Having a washer and dryer there was perfect since we hit the pool every day. Brad also offered suggestions about the island. He recommended the book: Hawaii revealed—the Big Island. Best book ever!
