This place is beautiful! Despite seeing the pictures when booking, seeing the view of the ocean with palm trees and a setting sun in person was an incredibly pleasant surprise. We saw a turtle on the beach at the property and some spinner dolphins in the waters. The location is great, about a 5 mins drive to the pier, and walking/easy driving distance from all of downtown Kona beaches and markets. The apartment itself was very clean. My wife was worried about it having lizards; while we did see a couple of small lizards in the building, none to be reported in the apartment itself. We slept in the master bedroom with the windows open, and with the screen door, gave us a great ocean waves white noise all night and beautiful sky and ocean colors when we woke up. Despite us being only 2 people, this apartment is a 2 bedroom and has plenty of space for 4 or even 5 people to stay comfortably. The apartment is located on the second floor, with stairs and an elevator close-by. The balcony (lanai) overlooks some grass, a small beach, palm trees, and the ocean, which always had some people learning to surf, snorkle, or paddleboard.
We will definitely stay here again when we go back to the Big Island of Hawai'i. Definitely recommend.
