Carling's condo is footsteps away from the most popular, beautiful white sands beach in Hawaii. We thoroughly enjoyed eating breakfast on the large balcony before heading off for day trips. Located minutes from downtown Kona, we were close enough to visit the touristy spots, however it was wonderful to leave it behind for our quiet home away from home. Everything you could possibly want for chilling on the beach is available, so no need to overpack. Carling was quick to respond to my emails. Great vacation getaway condo :)
