you will not regret paying a little extra for this place. The waves crash, all day, against the walls of the property while a honking conch serenades the sun as it sets. this was the amazing big island home-base we had hoped for.
truth bomb 💣: you will be staying in a condominium complex where there is lots of activity. be as social or as private as you like. we met a nice couple in the pool who gave us a lot of ideas about what to do during our stay, but there is also the guestbook which gave us many more.
you could almost walk to breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the active ali’i street, but there is always parking. Yet, everything has this sub-sub-urban pace that keeps everything extremely of chill. the complex includes a convenience store which borders on hotel lobby store.
the property is architecturally fascinating. if you like the thought of polynesian post-modernism, you will find intrigue in the features and angles of this place. built in 1970, it was the first set of condos on the kona side of the island.
our unit was tastefully updated and celebrated its best feature, the ocean view. we will remember this stay for the rest of our lives. we feel so lucky to have stayed here!
