We love the Kona Belle! It literally had everything we needed. All the gear available made us feel like we were at home, not tourists. It was so nice to have a cooler for a picnic and to have chairs to sit on at the beach. Kristofer was out of town but his partner took excellent care of us, going above and beyond the call of a host. We were there for a family reunion. My brother in law's family was staying in Hilo, but decided last minute to come to Kona for their last day. He offered one of their own bedrooms so that we could more time with our family. He also let us check out a little late so that we could squeeze in one more beach day before a late flight. The spirit of Aloha is alive and well here.
The location is great in a quiet little cul de sac, ideally located close to two beaches and snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay or for the less adventurous, Kahalu'u Park, and close but not too close to the crowds in Kona. I didn't think having covered parking would be that big of a deal but I sure appreciated it when it was dumping rain and we needed to unload the car. The place is spacious, well stocked, nicely decorated and the bed was really comfortable. The garden is very nice and private. Thanks for the memories!
