We booked this condo because of its location and fair price. The owners were friendly and helpful from the moment we booked. They won us over completely when we found a French press in the kitchen!
The location is great for anyone who wants foot access to Kailua-Kona. It's next door to a market, great coffee shop (Kona Coffee & Tea 👍), and other restaurants. We'd be remiss if we didn't give a shout out to 808 Grindz Café for their delicious, inexpensive, and authentic Hawaiian food (only a 5-10 minute walk). The rest of town and the waterfront is a 15 minute walk away.
Everything else is easily drivable: 15 mins to the airport, 5 mins to Target, and your choice of beautiful beaches all less than an hour away.
The owners have thought of nearly everything vacationers might want or need to have fun: beach chairs, beach towels, 2 different sized soft coolers, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, and toys for kids.
They've also packed the condo with the amenities you never fail to forget or wish you could bring: USB charger on each side of the bed, Netflix on the TV, extra towels, coffee maker, a French press (our choice!), electric water kettle (vital for French press users), toaster, fully stocked kitchen, growlers (for beer), hangers (I've started bringing foldable ones because hotels always skimp!), and just about anything else you'll need.
The owners are communicative and helpful, always responding quickly and with suggestions. We had a great vacation, in no small part due to a great place to call homebase while we were on holiday. Thank you!
