My husband and I spent a week in Kona at Stuart's place. It's a nice little place - clean, with all the things we needed to prepare our meals all week. The view is good - ocean out one window, mountain out the other; and the pool is a definite plus. We also really appreciated the parking space and the use of the beach towels and small cooler for packed lunches. The downside of this particular area is the noise - lots of landscaping crews during the day and consistent delivery truck noise in the mornings from the shopping center right next door; the upside being the easy walking distance to several grocery stores and the Ali'i Drive walking/shopping area.
