Michael was a wonderful host. He reached out to me and gave me tips around the area/neighborhood. His condo is walking distance to a bay where you can meet groups that canoe, snorkel and/or swim with the dolphins or Manta Rays. If you turn right instead of going straight there is a ocean edge where you can watch the sunset (amazing). There is also a private beach off this road (you will see the sign on the right) down a short path.

The condo is a short drive to downtown Kona, which makes it accessible to the southern tip of the island and also you can easily drive up the Kona coast to the northern beaches.

The condo itself was spacious, very clean and comfortable. The lanai is a wonderful place to have breakfast overlooking the golf course. Privacy-wise - it is important to know you are overlooking a golf course and sometime people are on the fairway early in the morning! Overall, this was no intrusive in any way - just an important note.

Micael leaves a plethora of equipment for your use (see house rules) which makes it super easy.

The kitchen is stocked with all the usual amenities which means you can get your groceries at the nearby KTA market and make your meals at home if you wish.

Overall, my only regret is not scheduling a longer trip!
