Carling’s place was perfectly situated next to Magic Sands Beach, but also just south of Kailua-Kona with easy access to groceries, highways to get to Volcanoes National Park, Hilo, Kohala, etc. We enjoyed a great week with Carling’s condo as our home base. The kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub, we used the BBQ area and walked across Ali’i Drive whenever we wanted to dip into the ocean. The condo has all the amenities you’ll need. Just buy some groceries and enjoy your meals on the lanai. The beds were comfortable, the two bathrooms were newly renovated and we really appreciated that Carling made available soap/shampoo, dish and laundry detergent, etc. Overall, this place was perfect for our family of 5 (kids aged 16, 13 and 10).
