Great setup for families with children. Beautiful views from the Lanai and kitchen. Condo has everything you'll need: beach towels, sand toys, boogie boards. Pool is great! Hot tub too. Snorkeling across the street is indeed fabulous, IF you go early (when it's calm conditions), at high tide (much easier in and out) and not on a weekend. The strip mall at Keahou (1 mile away) has grocery, pharmacy, and takeout. You can skip the Safeway in Kona. Finally, this was super convenient for snorkel boat tour to Captain Cook Marine Reserve. If this fits your dates and budget, stop looking around and book it!
