This cozy little studio apartment is located in the heart of Kona. Everything you need is located within walking distance so even though we rented a car, it ended up parked most of our stay. There is a little farmers market down the street ensured we had fresh fruit and vegetables. Numerous restaurants, all within walking distance, gave us a variety of choices when we didn’t feel up to cooking. All of our excursions starting points were easy to get to on foot too. Even Safeway is just half a mile away!
There is a trolly that runs up and down Ali’i Drive during the day if you don’t feel like walking and bike rental just down the way. It also has folks walking (and riding) up and down the street, so you get to people watch while relaxing on your balcony. But the best part is the view! Beautifully manicured grounds, mature plumeria trees, hibiscus bushes and a gorgeous view of the ocean with a lava beach directly in front of us. It was such a treat to enjoy our morning coffee listening to the waves crash before wandering off to PapaKonas for breakfast on the water.
Do know, the kitchen is small with only an electric skillet for cooking, but there is a grill by the pool which is also in a gorgeous setting. So if you like cooking, you have to be creative which was fun in itself!
All in all, it was an amazing stay with great hosts and an unbelievable setting. We will definitely return!
