Our family of four, 2 parents and 2 teenagers, had such a wonderful stay at Ron’s condo! Despite 90+ F heat in all other parts of the island (in late July-early Aug) the condo stayed cool and comfortable at ALL TIMES! The cross-breeze between the open lanai door in front (screened door in place) and the open bedroom windows in back, combined with ceiling fans, made for what felt like temperatures in the 60’s-low 70’s.
The condo had absolutely everything we needed for our entire trip, from beach towels, coolers, beach chairs, washer/dryer, coffee maker, rice cooker, pots/pans/utensils/, shampoo/conditioner and so much more! It was also so close (same neighborhood) to some wonderful restaurants, including Teshima’s Restaurant (we dined there 3 times in two days, we loved it so much), Kona Grill House (so yummy) and Standard Bakery (get the Chantilly cake and bento boxes to-go for the beach).
I also enjoyed having my morning coffee and sunset cocktail every night on the lanai overlooking the ocean. It was truly heavenly.
We stayed in the condo for 7 nights and not once did we wish we had stayed elsewhere, as we sometimes have felt on other Airbnb vacations. This area is so much less touristy (and therefore less grimy and crowded) than Kailua-Kona and even some parts of Waikoloa, yet is close enough to get to those areas quickly by car.
The only thing to note is, if you need absolute quiet at night to sleep, the frogs do start singing at night. We found it to be quite charming, almost like we were staying in a rainforest, but for those sensitive to such things, it happened while we were there.
Stay here. You will LOVE it!!
