Clean, great location, and fluffy-towel and amenity filled studio. Super-well thought out decor and very well-organized. Morning coffee? Check. Cooler, with ice pack already in the freezer ready to go? Check. Good toiletries and a full-size sink to wash dishes in when you get a papaya and some granola from the farmer’s market on the corner? Check.
If you’re headed to Kona for the first time, this place is super-central. We walked to a bunch of places—burger place half a block away (Island Ono Loa, good!), breakfast yummy-ness (KaliKala Cuisine), the Pier to go swim with the fishes at Ironman beach, all the shops, and of course beach sunsets every night. Oh, and Gypsea Gelato. It’s awesome to park the car and walk everywhere. Loved the hot tub also. Easy check-in, only slight con was the parking—we had to drive around the block one night to find an open spot. Still, that was easily manageable. Staff was great on check-in. LOVED that the entire property is smoke-free. No problems, we’ll be back!
