This place in Waikoloa Village was less than a mile from their village plaza which had the KTA market and other restaurants (Filipino, Chinese, Thai, and Mexican). It is about 20minutes from the Waikoloa resort which also has a shopping center with Island Gourmet market. It takes about 30 minutes to the airport and 40 minutes to heart of Kona. We drove all over the island… to Hilo, Waimea, Maunea Kea, etc. so location wasn’t too bad for us. However, if you prefer to stay close to the city and not drive too much on a daily basis, this might not be the best location as there are many one lane highways with lower speed limits, causing more travel time. An hour travel time to our destination was normal. The neighborhood is quiet and nice. My husband and I went on walking during sunset hour when we were not out elsewhere.
This Airbnb is very cute and great value for the place. The fridge and microwave was nice to have for leftovers and other items we bought to bring back home or as snacks there. Each room also has a ceiling fan and lots of windows so that was nice. Bed was super comfy! It was on the firmer side and the pillows were comfortable for us as well. We were glad there was an ac unit in the bedroom for the warmer afternoons and evenings. Mornings are super nice weather and cool.
There is a boogie board, snorkeling gear, sun umbrella, and beach chairs for your use. That was nice when we went to Hapuna Beach. They also have a first aid kit and beach towels for you in the bathroom as well.
Remember to our away your food and wipe down the table after eating! Ants came pretty frequently and they are super small and hard to see but they are there.
