We enjoyed our stay at Collessie By the Sea. From this home, you can quickly get to Old Town Kona for dining and shopping. The beach is at least 25 minutes away, depending on which ones you choose. The best ones are 40 mins away south of Kona. This is a convenient location for traveling to Hilo, volcanos and Mauna Kea. The house is very comfortable and was well-stocked with basic need items such as towels, kitchen needs, paper products, beach chairs and umbrella and other conveniences sometimes missed by others. The master bed is very comfortable, but the others not as much so. The skylights in the master bedroom impede sleep due to the sun and the moon. Be sure to take a sleep mask to block out light. The view is incredible and so are the landscaping and grounds. Beautiful birds abound on the property, no doubt attracted to beautiful flowers.
