This condo is in the ideal spot to enjoy Kona, easy walking to restaurants and farmers market. The lanai directly overlooks the water. We enjoyed the sound of the surf, watching surfers and dolphins out on the water most mornings, afternoons by the pool and even turtles over the seawall when the surf was more calm. You'll have everything you need for cooking/grilling at the condo if you choose. Jan has also provided all you would need for a day at the beach. We just got home yesterday and are already thinking about our next stay.
