We really enjoyed this place and it’s location. We got a lot of use out of the pool. It was the perfect temp and super relaxing. This rental has beach towels and all of the beach gear you would need from chairs to water shoes to snorkeling gear which was super nice not to take up space in our luggage bringing these items. It is right across the street from the ocean and a short drive to downtown spots to eat and little shops. It’s right on the main drive in Kona so that was really nice. It’s just a half mile to a poke shack that was super good and Ali’i Garden marketplace that has Shaka Tacoz food truck in it that is super good as well. There are also some shops in there too that we found some goodies at. I would suggest Kua Bay if you want a good swimming beach. It’s about a 25 min drive but worth it. Super clear warm water and a nice sandy beach. We also did a manta ray night tour that was awesome. We checked out two step snorkeling spot and enjoyed that as well for snorkeling but it’s not a sandy beach. We ate at Fosters Kitchen, On the Rocks, Humpys and Fish Hopper for dinner and thought they were all good. We ate at A Bays and kalikala cousine for breakfast and thought they were both really good. I would suggest the French toast at Kalikala. We also checked out paradise bakery that had a different variety of donuts. All in all we enjoyed our vacation and had an relaxing pool and comfy place to come back to each night. Ying was a great host and had great communication. Thank you for sharing your space with us.
