Emily's condo was a few minutes WALK to Ali'i Drive, where the shops and restaurants and bars are located, not to mention the shoreline. If you stay here, you don't have to worry about moving your car if you want to relax in Kona. However, if you want to take the car and go find a good beach, it's not a problem.
The condo itself is furnished very nicely with modern decor. I really love the fact that it's the top level so the wooden ceilings add to the charm. The loft is amazing.
Emily's communications was A+++. She would reply to any questions you have within minutes and would reach out to you like a friend would when you are new in town.
If you want a rock solid place to stay and not have to worry about a thing, I would recommend this condo.
