This place was wonderfully situated within easy walking distance of the amazing Magic Sands Beach and a longer walk to beginner-friendly (but still amazing) snorkeling at Kahaluu Beach Park.
You'll want to bear in mind that you're not going to get breath-catching vistas of the ocean and are in a residential neighborhood. That said, the property is great, the host provides a wide variety of beach equipment, and there are plenty of popular books. Couple that with the superb location just south of Kona with easy access to world-class beaches and the property is an easy win!
