This apartment is in a perfect location if you're looking to be downtown. The Kona stores and restaurants are all within a few minutes walk, and the ocean is literally right across the street. There are a couple beaches within walking distance that you can use to get in the water, but to get to a slightly nicer beach we did need a car. Magic Sands is a few miles south, but for the most part we went north to Kehaka Kai, Manini-owali, Hapuna, and Mauna Kea (get there by 8:00am to get a parking pass!). The property is older but well taken care of with nice landscaping and a very pretty pool/hot tub/bbq area. The parking is competitive if you come home after dinner, so you just have to park across the street if the lot is full. Not a big deal, but slightly annoying if you're coming home with a lot of stuff or small kids. The apartment was clean and as described. It had the essentials we needed - lots of cable options, good wifi, towels, a small cooler, a fridge/freezer/microwave/hot plate. The kitchen is sufficient if you're planning on doing light cooking, but there really wasn't much room for chopping, and the hot plate took quite awhile to heat up. Take note that if you use the hot plate and plug in something else in the kitchen you'll most likely blow a fuse. This happened to us twice, but the people at the front desk re-set it right away both times. Overall, this is a good place to stay if you're looking for a quick and easy place right in downtown!
