We visited 4 Hawaiian Islands in 3 weeks, with all stays booked via vrbo, so we have some comparison. This was hands down the best apartment we had, at best value for money!
The apartment has a very good layout for a family with grown-up kids, large bathrooms, very nice master bedroom, closets of useable size, a nice balcony with good view. The building has easy access to apartments and zero interference with neighbours, also on the balcony.
If you have any snorkeling in mind (as we had), the location is absolutely unbeatable. With Kahuluu bay virtually at your doorstep, this is like having one of the best snorkeling spots of the Big Island as your private pool.
Also conveniently located on the Kona coast with good access to highway, for airport and excursions. Supermarket is convenient 3 minutes by car (and TCA is a good one).
So if you like the Big Island, snorkeling, being away from the hustle of a town, but still centrally located, this is the best package.
Thanks to the owners for providing such a nice place. We would definitely book again!
