We loved our stay at Kona Beach House! This is a perfect location for visiting the Big Island. We went North, South and East to see all the Big Island sights. Of course being across from a fantastic beach is wonderful - with all the beach supplies you need right there at the house! We came with our daughter and her 12 year old son, and he went to the beach multiple times a day. Last day before checkout, he went for one last swim and saw dolphins. A very nice bon voyage!
We hadn't been to Hawaii for 15 years (!) and when we were here last we stayed in one of the big resorts on Kohola coast. Didn't think that was exactly a good fit for us, so looked for something down near the "action" in Kona. After looking at countless, soulless, big condominiums, I happened on to Susan's Kona Beach House.
It's a real home away from home! Big enough to spread out, cook when desired, eat on a huge deck with 8 person table, bbq and hammock. There's a washer and dryer right off the deck, which comes in handy to dry beach things. The home is really large, and bright. I can't think of a better fit for a family, and the price is fantastic for all you get.
The house was spotless, which is quite a feat for being close to a beach. Speaking of beaches, we made use of the beach umbrella, beach towels, chairs, fins and of course the boogie board, which was a huge hit with our grandson!
I recommend this house enthusiastically and plan to come back!
