The location of Marin's airbnb was perfect for us. Walking across the parking lot to Onekahakaha beach park is the best way to begin the day, as you have the park to yourself and egrets by the hundreds fly overhead from their roosts towards Hilo Bay at sunrise. There is a lava rocked point to the west of the park where one can sit and have a full view of Mauna Kea if the clouds allow it. The beach park is ideal for keikis, as it's essentially a protected and sandy bottomed tidal pool which rises and falls with the tide.
The unit is clean and was everything we could have asked for during our five day stay in Hilo. Marin was very communicative with us and we would without hesitation recommend the Hilo Beach Getaway for anyone looking for an affordable oceanfront stay.
