Pros:
1). Great alternative to the cookie-cutter condos and tourism of Kailua-Kona. Kona was the hardest place for me to find an AirBnB I liked at a reasonable price, and I was grateful to find this one.
2). Bright colors, big lanai with ocean view, beach supplies for guest use
Cons:
1). Consider your location needs- South Kona is pretty and quiet, but there are no amenities in this home's neighborhood, and the amenities and activities are all a decent drive away on a two-lane highway that some might find winding or scary. Technically the home is in Captain Cook, but it's 20 min south of where CC appears on a map.
2). Kitchen quirks- b/c of local climate, you have to be careful of ants; no garbage disposal in sink; have to place for discarding garbage bags at dump.
3). All spaces are smaller than they appear in the photos.
