We enjoyed our stay on the beautiful big island and this was a great place to stay as it was close to downtown Kona, the beaches, and the airport. The accommodations are great and has extra space in the living area for sleeping, as well as small kitchen. We took a walk around the surrounding streets each morning, which was nice to be able to do. The only thing that we did not know (and not sure if it is common on Hawaii) is that the air conditioning is only in the bedroom and not the rest of the apartment. We appreciate the great hospitality and would certainly recommend The Great Kona Escape to anyone visiting the island!
