Perfect location for a comfortable stay near Kona! Highly recommend renting a car and seeing the island for yourself. We stayed here for a part of our honeymoon and throughly enjoyed. It was a perfect location in the middle of everything we wanted to do. The views were amazing with surfers and boaters to watch from the balcony. We spent mornings and evenings just enjoying the balcony and the sounds of the waves crashing upon the shore! Besides the elevators being down during our visit and carrying out luggage up multiple flights of stairs, it was perfect stay! I highly recommend staying here. Tip: if you’re into snorkeling, check out two step beach & bring your water shoes! We did not visit the volcano from this sight as we stayed at another Airbnb for that. Volcano is only 2 hours away and easily accessible by car if you desire. Mahalo!
