"It is really very close to the beach, you can even walk it.i also love the place itself. very quiet. The only thing really is the air con is very loud that you can’t sleep! That is the tie breaker. Either you sleep in comfort with the loud sound of the air conditioner blasting loud into your ear or hot but quiet during the night. I always end up turning off the air and just taking off my clothes under the covers Lol. Also the small window by the back porch doesn’t have a curtain so the neighbor...

10/10 Excellent
"🌺💍 Our Familymoon was nothing short of amazing! ❤️🌴 After getting married in beautiful Maui, we stayed to celebrate our new marriage and make unforgettable memories with our family on the Big Island. One of the highlights was renting a water trike and cycling through the lagoon while sea turtles swam right past us! 🐢💦 The views were breathtaking, the experience was incredible, and the memories we made are ones we’ll cherish forever. There’s nothing better than celebrating love, family, and new beginnings in paradise! 🌊☀️🌺"
