My traveling companion and I had a very nice stay. We enjoyed being on ground level and being able to walk out to the beach easily, as well as having a view of the ocean from the patio. It was nice to be within walking distance of all the retail shops and dining of Kona. I think this place is priced right. You're not paying top dollar so know that you're getting a well-loved rental unit, not a luxury unit. That was fine for us. The rest of the building seemed to be made up of tourists as well, maybe some staying longer but I don't think year-round.
