The apartment was great, clean and quiet. Perfect location between downtown Kailua-Kona and the great snorkel spots to the south. We were so busy, we spent very little time there. We only used the pool once (which is a simple pool but not near the apt) and never got a chance to take advantage of the ping pong or tennis or even the two cute balconies. The entrance to the apartment is street side, but the master bedroom is on the other end and very quiet. Kids were so tired every night, they never mentioned any noise in other bedroom. However, the location makes it super easy to get to your car and get going a beach front apt at this location would have a long walk to the parking lot) . Good bonus was underground parking lot meant car stays cool. Nice kitchen, though we only had breakfast there. Best amenity for a beach location was a washer and dryer for washing the towels every night! Check in/out was easy, though we never met Dana.
