Perfect location for walking to either Magic Sands Beach and/or Kahalu'u aka Snorkel Beach. The private backyard had everything one would need to make the most of your stay in beautiful Kailua-Kona, including a nice outdoor shower and a convenient area to hang up your wetsuits after a happy day at the beach. The outside furniture was quite comfortable for viewing the sunset, or simply drinking your morning coffee in the quiet of the morning. The added grill and outside refrigerator were also nice to have. Though the street is just below, there was just enough distance where you weren't hearing or seeing much of the traffic. Just wished we had been able to stay more than a night to really enjoy the place and to actually make use of the beautiful kitchen. Having AC in all 3 of the bedrooms was really great, though I think having AC or possibly more screen doors in the living and kitchen areas would truly make the living room and kitchen areas even more enjoyable relative to the rest of the areas, including the awesome backyard.
