Wonderful location across from Magic Sands Beach south of downtown Kona. Not really walking distance but plenty of public parking if you drive or rent bikes. The in room single air conditioning units keep the rooms cool or you can open up the house which is designed to capture the ocean breezes. The kitchen is well appointed and their are wonderful restaurants. If you choose to cook, the best grocery to visit is the Safeway - best selection and prices. The Big Island is a great place to visit with so many things to do and Susan’s place is a great staging area.
