Stunning view! Authentic Hawaii experience. You can see tourists attractions, but you also can enjoy your time mingling and shopping with locals.
Centrally located to restaurants, local markets, tourism, grocery stores, beaches, volcanoes, and parks.
My favorite beach to snorkel at was the Kahalu'u Bay (only 2 miles away). It had the largest variety of the most beautiful sea life. I once found myself in the middle of over a dozen very large sea turtles. Bring a waterproof camera or case for your phone.
Kua Bay is also a must see. There I found myself in the middle of 30 dolphins showing off their jumping and twisting talent. One of the dolphins swam right to me and rubbed me on my leg!
We even drove across the island to Hilo. The shops, markets, and restaurants are esthetic photo opportunities. The waterfalls are a must see! If you visit Rainbow Falls while in Hilo, walk past the viewing point into the forest. You will be surrounded by the biggest and most beautiful tree that looks like the tree from the movie Avatar. If you walk even further past that onto the trails, there are some beautiful sights they don't advertise. It is an hour and half drive, but the lava, wildlife, plants, and views on the way there make the drive fly by.
The condo is equipped with everything you will need during your stay. The kitchen and bathrooms were generously stocked. I was shocked with how much Rebecca provided for us to use. There was more toiletries and seasonings then I have in my storage at home!
