A very convenient location with restaurants and grocery stores close by. Far enough away from busy Kona and its traffic but close enough to run in for essentials at big stores (we had to go to Walmart for a kid life jacket). Great snorkelling was only 15 minutes away by car at 2-step to the South, Kahalu’u beach to the north, or the hike down to Kealakekua Bay (but we didn’t do the hike with our 4 year old). The king size bed is VERY comfortable. We found the frogs and occasional roosters to be quite deafening but earplugs fixed that. The lanai is very nice for dining and hanging out. The garden is beautiful with lots of citrus trees and Thai papaya. There is no stove but that is managed by having and electric skillet, kettle, toaster and microwave (but no hot plate or pots and pans). The apartment was very clean. We enjoyed our stay.
