This condo is in an excellent location. The photo of the view doesn't really do it justice. You have a broad, sweeping vista of the ocean and palms from the lanai and the master bedroom. You will need a rental car, but you are close to beaches, shops, coffee plantations, and restaurants. If you don't mind an uphill climb, the grocery store is within walking distance. The condo is clean and well appointed with plenty of linens, kitchen items, games, and beach towels. Beds were comfortable. We were a family of 4 but this condo could hold 6 easily. We could get to downtown Kona in 15 minutes, but we preferred to drive south to the smaller towns down the coast. The nearest beach is probably less than a mile away (walkable) and it has snorkeling and surf lessons. We really liked this condo and would rent it again if you return to Kailua-Kona.
