The location, property amenities, and the host Chris - could not be better! Amazing view of the ocean from the beautiful balcony/lanai. Our family would eat breakfast and dinner each at enjoying the ocean view and breeze. We have rediscovered the joy of eating together at the table as a family and have resolved to that everyday after returning home.
Property has a beautiful ocean side pool and BBQ area where we spent beautiful time as well. Close to shopping centers , restaurants and yet secluded. There is a good coffee shop and a tour operator on site as well if u need tickets to any excursions like chopper tours( highly recommended).
If you like Indian food, there is a nice restaurant close by and wait for it - awesome Swami Dosa Grill food truck with in 5 minutes !
Most importantly, the location is close with in 2 hours of Volcanoes national park, dark sand beach , hiking trails and a whole lot of ‘must-do’ adventures . I recommend staying at this property for a week at least to justice to big island.
Lack of A/C in the unit can be a problem if you wanna just stay home all day. The unit can get very warm in July during day time. Luckily , we would go out all day to the mountains and return by evening by when things would cool down.
I would definitely return to Chris’s property. He is a very responsive and an amazing host.
