Jerry and Alice have a wonderful condo that is perfectly located close to town/restaurants/shopping and convenient to two harbors. We had a rental car but I saw a trolley going up and down the street but not sure on specifics. The place is located RIGHT ON the ocean. You can't get any closer! It is rocky right in front of the condo but right next door is a sand beach. Unfortunately, there were rough winter water swells during our visit so we didn't swim in front of the condo. I think the Kona area is the best location if you're interested in snorkeling. The location was a convenient drive to Kealakekua Bay and "2 steps" that have GREAT snorkeling. The harbor for the "Must-do Manta Ray night snorkel" we did was very close. We did not cook any meals but it looked like pots, pans and more were there if needed. Alice is VERY prompt answering any questions or concerns. We felt very safe in the area. If we ever go back to Kona we know who to contact! Thanks Alice & Jerry!
