We had a wonderful time staying at Julianne’s condo during our one week visit to Kona. It worked really well for our family. My daughter loved the pool! It’s located south of the main touristy part of Ali’i drive, which is what we wanted. However, if you want to be able to walk to lots of shops and restaurants, this location is not going to provide that. That was a feature, not a bug, for us. The lanai looks out to an undeveloped lot that is basically jungle, so it was very private. There is a loud rooster who crows non-stop though! The condo was clean and the host was responsive when we had concerns or questions. It was a great home base to return to everyday.
