The condo was very nice as pictured and we loved watching the sunset over the ocean from the patio. We left the patio doors open at night so we could hear the waves crashing. As others said, there is some street noise but it is not very bothersome and quieted down by 9 every evening and did not impact our sleep. Traffic around Kona can be very congested, so it was great to be able to walk to the shops and restaurants.
