Great location within 10min walk of waterfront. Plenty of room for family to spread out and a great basecamp for exploring Kona area. Yes, there is a junkyard across street but for the week we were there it was quiet; no noises or anyone seen working. Anyways, we spent most of days away from unit so the view was not that important. Safeway grocery store is just a 3min drive away and was great for stocking up.
