Well located property with outstanding ocean views, terrific sunsets, right next to one of the top snorkeling spots in Hawaii. Watching the surfers "up close" from the back patio was very special. Surf hits the wall around the pool area, you can't get closer to the ocean than this. Swimming pool is a great amenity. Grocery store close by (1.5miles), several restaurants about 10 to 15 minutes away in downtown Kailua. Uber about $13 each way to downtown recommended due to parking problems and congestion downtown. Kona was hot during the day (High 80s, Low 90s) making the home very hot inside without AC particularly late in the day. (we were there in November) The owner was very responsive seeing that a broken fan was quickly repaired. Some traffic noise from Alii drive.
