Kathie’s place is fantastic!! She is very warm and communicative and her condo was exactly what we wanted for this trip. It’s a great location - you can walk or drive into town easily and Magic Sands Beach is just down the road in the other direction. We appreciated the comfy bed with an AC unit in the bedroom window - so nice! The shower has a detachable head which I always like and the pool was fantastic after a hot day exploring Kona. We enjoyed having a full kitchen to cook and store left overs. But the real star of this property is the lanai (or veranda) that overlooks the ocean and a group of tide pools. We were joking that we didn’t need to bring our white noise machine because the ocean is just THAT CLOSE! It’s the perfect spot to catch the sunset, watch the eels hunt at night and crabs scuttle about on the rocks or enjoy a meal or glass of wine with a perfect view. A few tips: if you plan on watching the sunset from the lanai do remember your bug spray before you head out, and definitely don’t feed the birds as they are quite curious and can get a little brave at times! All in all, this place is wonderful and we would absolutely stay here again!
