Great location- far enough from town to avoid the hubbub but close enough to easily go to town. Easy walk to great beach, close to restaurants, convenience store. Quirky but well maintained property. Very clean room and comfortable bedding. Nice to have a small kitchen.

Big Island Retreat is a cost effective yet rustic facility. Our room had a bathroom outside the room and we had to regularly navigate the difficult parking situation. it is quiet and has a great beach about 4 tenths of a mile away when you walk or drive.

I stayed in seaside room. Beautiful and airy. Super clean. Wonderful private patio. I will say that it was like a verandah that had been converted into a room so I could hear everything going on outside. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. They have beach equipment you can borrow which was nice. Didn't like the automatic $100 cleaning for a 2 night stay on top of room fee. Seemed excessive.
