Location, location, location. This place is perfectly situated in Kailua-Kona within walking distance to dozens of shops and more than enough restaurants. If you're looking for a full tourist experience in Kona, this place is an excellent home base for a couple. There is no A/C which is fine, but in order to keep the place cool and to enjoy the ocean breeze you must keep the sliding glass doors open and ideally the front door too (the screen door has a lock). The breeze is amazing and listening to the waves is great. The only drawback is that it is LOUD. You're located directly above a relatively busy street that has cars, cruising motorcycles, and tons of pedestrians walking at most hours of the day. The noise between the waves, the wind, and all of the road noise down below and occasionally some people walking that have had many drinks, it can get loud and occasionally disrupt a light sleepers. That said, we'd stay here again.
