We have just returned from a 2 week holiday to Kona Hawaii and thoroughly enjoyed our 2 bed/2 bath condo. This was a first time experience not staying at a hotel or resort type complex, and one that will be repeated. I enjoyed not having to leave our place for breakfast, lunch and supper, if we chose not to. I now know that you don’t need to take as many clothes, and we all used the brand new in-suite washer dryer combo. We saw beautiful sunsets just by stepping out the door or the balcony, or walking across the road and sitting on the lava rock right by the ocean. We could do a 45 minute walk downtown for coffee if we chose, or walk maybe 10 or 15 minutes to a beach, enjoying great scenery the whole time. The pool area was peaceful and enjoyable. We did use the snorkel gear as well as the boogie boards at Hapuna and Spencer beaches. The Big Island Grill is a great place to eat. Cynthia and Noah were easily accessed by email.
