The condo is located in a small complex in a very quiet part of the island about 5-10 minute walk to the black sand beach. The complex is well maintained and has a nice Hawaiian feel to it. The kitchen area is small but the large bathroom has tons of counter space. The decor is vintage Hawaiian. The bed and pillows were so comfy. Slept like a log. This is the place to stay if you want to be close to the water and visit the Volcanoes National Park. While the condo is not on the water, it’s got a nice view of the ocean from the lanai and bedroom. Slightly cooler than Kona area, so I wouldn’t worry about the no AC. The only downside is that you can hear neighbors as everyone has their windows and doors open. But I think you’ll get that anywhere unless you rent a single family home. There are stairs down into the living area from the front door. I ended up taking my baggage out through the lanai to avoid the stairs. The lanai area is beautiful and I spent almost all of my time at the condo on the lanai.
