Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kona Sands studio. The place is cute and cozy, safe, clean, and comfortable. Loved the shower! The beach is literally right across the street and it was great to wake up, walk over to take a look at the earlybird body boarders and swimmers, great to sit on the lanai and enjoy my morning tea, and especially great to watch the sunset every night. It's a great location with shopping and entertainment not far away. We covered all of the Big Island in day trips: - Howi, Hilo, Volcanoes Nat'l Park, South Point. We did a snorkel cruise and we zip-lined. Weather was perfect! One of our best vacations ever!!
