We found the place to be a good value, being very close to Kona. It's about 1.2 miles from the well know Kona restaurants on the water front, a couple miles from Magic Sands beach and a couple other sand beaches and great places to snorkel. It's right across the street from the main building that has the swimming pool and a lounging area. there are also propane BBQs in the common area of this condo building and across the street, ocean side of the main building. No sand beach there, but a very cool lava flow water front with tide pools to explore (we actually found several turtles, of which one we had to help by cutting off fishing line that had wrapped tightly around his neck and flipper. Thank you to the office for supplying scissors)
The place was very clean, and adequately supplied. It's just as pictured. Keyless entry, nice not having to deal with a key. And as other have said, Mike has a couple smaller coolers, wave board, beach chairs, sunbrela, and snorkel gear and at least 3 beach towels. Our only complaints would be it's just a bit small (no place to open up your luggage or store your clothing), the lanai view of the ocean has a large bundle of power lines (right in front of the condo) and the constant traffic noise (doesn't die down until around 10pm-11pm and picks back up again about 6am). Nothing Mike can do about that, but it's part of being on Ali Drive.
