This is a GREAT time to go to the Big Island- no traffic, easy reservations, and if you want a helicopter ride to see it all from the air, you can get one of those too! We chose this unit because of its central location in Kona, large lanai, king size bed, ocean views, modern decor and kitchen, and 2nd full bath, and we were very happy with it! The ceiling fans and stand-up fans helped keep the unit cool. We used the beach chairs, great umbrella with anchor, boogie boards, noodle and beach towels provided for several great days at the beach! We appreciated the complementary Kona coffee-miss it already! Loved the coffee table books provided in the unit and lots of local tips and information were provided in advance so we could shop and eat. Keauhou Shopping Center KTA Grocery is right down the block. Bonnie was so quick with responses! Don't miss seeing the manta rays come eat plankton at night at Ray's restaurant in the Sheraton Kona, or snorkeling at any of the lovely beaches (our favorites were Two Step, Magic Sands and Beach 69) where you will see lots of fish and even Honu (turtles!). Try Kona Shopping Village for souvenirs and a great place to walk around; see Gail at Treasure Island where the local artists have amazing photography and jewelry. Keoki's Ono Fish and Chips in south Kona had a great lunch, and the local hotel restaurants have amazing menus for reasonable prices! We made a reservation for a Luau at the Hilton Waikoloa Village and the show and dancers were spectacular! Our stay went by too fast! Mahalo Bonnie for an awesome stay we will never forget!
