Honestly, this place belongs on a postcard. The condo is as described, and was perfect for two adults looking for a quiet getaway. The condo was stocked with pantry and beach essentials, has a comfortable queen size bed, large flat screen tv, good wifi, and a lanai overlooking a pool (that is lit by tiki torches in the evenings!). The beach chairs, body boards, umbrellas, and snorkeling equipment were also a great addition - knowing we weren't going to have to scramble to acquire some while we were there was great. Having coffee in the morning and a beer at night out on the lanai were some of my favorite parts of our trip.

The condo building is quiet and not overrun with people - we were able to have the pool and hot tub most evenings to ourselves. There are also a couple of nice gas grills for public use as well. Just a short path lined with tropical plants leads to the ocean and all of the shopping, bars, and restaurants. You can also follow the road that runs parallel for a nice run/walk/bike while you stay to see more of the area. Go either direction for great views of the ocean and surrounding area.

We had no issues finding parking, but were really able to walk around all of downtown Kona during our trip and only used our car for longer day trips to Hilo and the Green Sand Beach. The furthest we walked was to Kona Brewing Co. (~1 mile). The Farmer's market was right around the corner for fresh produce and trinkets, 2 ABC stores are less than a quarter mile away, and the nearest grocery is about half a mile.

We had a fabulous time and can't wait to come back!
