The view from the balcony is breathtaking. We began and ended every day of our vacation watching the ocean. You have a front row seat to the beautiful Kona sunsets, too. We saw dolphins and sea turtles, as well. The pictures are very accurate. The area is quiet but also very walkable to the Kailua Bay restaurants and shopping.
My only small critique is the kitchen/decor could use some updating, but all the appliances worked well. I did notice some water damage in the kitchen and bathroom, but there was no indication that water is still leaking somewhere.
100% I would stay here again. That view makes up for any small imperfections. It was exactly what I wanted for my Kona vacation.
