Great place away from the business of Kailua-Kona! The apartment was clean with all the amenities that we needed including a few condiments etc. left by previous guests. Very quiet at night for sleeping. The shore is a short walk away. We grabbed the two beach chairs, walked down to watch the sunset and attempted to glimpse the green flash. No green flash for us, but a beautiful sunset! Can't comment on the pool, we walked by it, it looked nice, but were too busy exploring the island to have a swim. We discovered a few great restaurants up the hill at the Keauhou Shopping Center. We found, for us, the walk up the hill was very manageable and walking home a breeze! If heading up there, make a reservation!
