Neat and clean ground floor one bedroom apartment. Congenial, unobtrusive owners live above and respond quickly to any concerns. Comfortable bed, fairly well equipped kitchen, small lanai with a partial ocean and sunset view, strong WiFi. Located in a small neighborhood, so you will hear the neighbors’ arguments and TV programs, but generally not too intrusive. Great location from which to access my favorite places and activities—two step snorkeling and the Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau, Kealakekua Bay, Captain Cook Sunday market, and water activities out of Keauhou Bay. Decent grocery store in Captain Cook, and a larger one in the Keauhau shopping center.
Tip: if you land at the airport before 3:30 or so, consider driving south immediately to avoid at least some of the Kailua town rush hour traffic, and pick up your first groceries in Captain Cook or Keauhou instead of Costco or Safeway.
Thanks, Susan and Larry, for a lovely two weeks!
