Hawaii Sundown

Tucked within a gated community on the sun-soaked Kohala Coast, this apartment earns its place as a Big Island base. Days unfold at the lagoon-style shared pool, ringed by palms, or out in the sea with paddleboards, snorkel sets, and boogie boards all ready to go. Evenings are best spent on the covered lanai – fire up the barbecue as the light fades, or gather around the fire pit once the stars appear. And if you want a night off cooking , simply stroll to one of the nearby restaurants.

Home truths:
* While the second bathroom isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pools, fitness centre, and sports courts here. They're shared with the community's other guests.
* It's a tradition in Hawaii to remove your shoes before entering a home, and your host kindly asks you to do the same here.
* An initial supply of soaps, paper goods, and cleaning supplies is provided, but you'll likely need to top up during your stay – a supermarket is nearby for stocking up.
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Free parking is available.
* The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.
