Absolutely 100% recommend Joe's place! Location is ideal - a quiet safe neighborhood close to everything Kona-Kailua offers, but not right there on Ali'i Drive and all the activity. It is literally 0.1 mile from a beautiful, secluded beach and an easy 5-minute walk to Keauhou Harbor if you have any boat trips planned. The apartment had more accessories than we expected, all the toys and equipment that one could need, right down to supplying beach bags for day trips and seasoning for cooking. The pool is clean and quiet, although we didn't use it much since we had great ocean conditions during our trip (not something you can count on in winter on the Big Island). Our next trip, we'll absolutely stay here again.
