We enjoyed living for a week near Kona’s popular surfing and snorkeling area. Long afternoons at the pool (located at the building next door) gave us a good view of the surf break. We walked over to the pool with most meals and enjoyed the comfy patio furniture. The kitchen is basic and was adequate for most of the things was wanted to cook. Well known Ali’i drive quiets in the evening and in the morning is a good place for a run or walk- a cute harbor and the Sheraton are 20 minutes walk away. The condo is quiet considering the location on a major road and comfortable enough, appointed with tropical themed, well-loved furniture. The host is quick to reply should you need anything. We were appreciative of the beach chairs and cooler as we made several outings to great beaches and snorkel spots nearby!
