Tina was very helpful and accommodating in helping us figure out the area. The studio was nice, convenient and comfortable. Since it was my first time to the big island, I was surprised that the beach across the street was not swimmable due to the lava rocks that line much of the beach there. The closest beach for swimming in the waves is about a 15 min drive. Parking was limited but not a problem. Seemed like the other tenants were about half owners and half vacationers which led to an interesting mix. Beautiful grounds with songbirds, plumerias blossoms and greenery. We rented a car for the last two days and it was a bit difficult without a car with our two kids but still doable. Was surprised there were not any families with kids that I noticed there. Overall, a comfortable stay at a convenient price.
