Perfect location. Close to pool, workout room, bar, and ocean. You can walk to shops but it does take a while. We ended up driving to other stores for groceries outside of Waikoloa. We had some trouble locating the parking space at night for the unit. There is no garage, just a carport which was fine. Had a little trouble with the screen door so we reported it on the day we were leaving. Unit is spacious and i liked the fact that the bedroom windows face the ocean. You can see the ocean from the lanai. Took a bit of learning to figure out the stove since its very new. Washer and dryer came in handy and there are plenty of beach towels, umbrellas etc. There is a lava path by the ocean but its a bit hard to walk on leisurely ....you gotta watch your step. A lot of stores shut down at the 2 shopping areas...but its like that everywhere. Not that this has anything to do with the unit, but we dined out about 4 times in 9 days and found food over priced and not very good...even at Lava Lava. 2 years ago this was not the case. Probably trying to recover form the pandemic and cutting costs.
