What a great place to stay! This unit is arguably the best unit in the complex with amazing view of the ocean. This is my 5th trip to Big Island, and this is the best overall Condo we have stayed in. We sat on the veranda every morning watching whales, surfers, and the waves. Very clean, had everything we wanted. It was so nice to chill in the pool after a day of adventure. The grounds are immaculate, neighborhood safe - there are lots of bikers runners, and walkers, and there are nice beaches within easy walking distance. Big Island is big, and for us, this location was about half way between our favorite snorkeling at 2-step and Captain Cooks, and our favorite beaches up north. Also very close to the road that takes you over to Hilo to do the waterfalls, and then on up north to hike the Pololu Valley. This is a short but fairly steep hike to a beautiful ocean front valley that is well worth the trouble to get there. We take hammocks and just chill in the gorgeous valley watching the whales and waves. Parking can be a little tricky, try to get there earlier in the day, or later in the evening.
My only complaint was that the hot tub seems to be turned on and off frequently, and very sporadically. Sometimes it was on all day, then off in the evenings, other times off all day and on in the evenings. Since there is no way for you to control it, you are kind of at the whims of whomever, or whatever does control it.
Thanks Rebecca - definitely on my do again list.
