Good location for west side/ central Kona beaches along Ali’i road. Spacious rooms and really good kitchen amenities if you’re cooking in, which we did alot. Ambient sound from other lanais or residents walking around the outside (and amazing birdsong from the wooded areas around the building!) is part of the fun of a centrally located building. Inside the apartment was quiet and peaceful. This section of Kona is vibrant, active and busy. The apartment blends this energy with peaceful Interior, ample beach equipment, towels and linens, and a pleasant place to chat and rest from beach sessions or other island experiences. Take note that the unit is on second floor and a small set of stairs cannot be avoided even jf you use the elevator for the largest portion of stairs.
