location indeed! right in the middle of Kona - outside the Southgate is Ali'i Dr which is the gateway to all things fun in the sun. The condo was clean and thoughtfully laid out. shower is small but fantastically hot water. Bed and Linens were fresh; nice touch with the beach gear (towels, chairs and snorkel equipment). check-in was quick and easy. While we did get in very late, we street parking prettyclose by (less than 2 minute walk). overall great experience and would stay here again.
