If your looking for a no nonsense pad in the Heart of Kona , look no further !
Karen and Brian's little piece of stoke was the perfect place for me to rest my head and recharge during my solo surf cation .
The people watching from the Lanai at ground level was perfect .
It can get a little noisy since the main strip , Ali'i drive is roughly 20 yards from the Lanai and your sleeping quarters but it never once kept me up at night .
Slept every evening with the slider door open to the Lanai and the screen door closed so the sounds of the ocean could lull me to sleep and what a treat that was because to me , if you cant hear and smell the ocean from your place of staying , your not truly having a Hawaiian vacation .
Parking at the old school condo is in short supply but I found that if I was back at the condo every evening by 5 I was able to park on property and be within a 10-50 yard walk to my door .
Just make sure you use the entance gate off Ali'i drive . That being said , I was able to park close to my door all 6 nights .
There is no kitchen and the fridge is a small college style fridge so don't expect to be cooking meals at the condo either . But if your like me , Im not on vacation to cook but to rather take in the local cuisine and there is PLENTY within walking distance from the front door .
There is a Microwave and toaster and coffee pot so you do have the basics to get by till you decide which place you want to eat at , once again all a short walk out your front door .
You just not going to get any more value for your money and be right on the water .
Mahalo Brian and Karen .
