Great location right next to a white sand beach. Not too many sandy beaches in this area. The pool area was very nice too. Lots of lava accents. The unit itself is a large studio with a kitchen area. The unit was well stocked with condiments, beach stuff, towels, etc. No balcony but there are sliding doors and the ocean is right outside the doors. Common grill area and an attached restaurant. Barry was a very accommodating host and the unit is accurately reflected in the listing. Short drive to Kailua-Kona downtown
