We had a great stay at Alexa's. Great value for a place so close to the ocean: the AC and fans work well to keep it cool, the bedroom has a beautiful view of the mountain, and they provide beach chairs and towels (though no umbrella or snorkel gear). This space is a one bedroom apartment on the second floor of a fairly small and relaxed building (we occasionally heard some music/kids running/etc. from the other units, but it never kept us awake or required earplugs). Even though it's right on Ali'i, it's back a bit from the street and we never found street noise to be loud (and the benefit of being on Ali'i = easy to get everywhere, including walking to Da Poke Shack and to beach access spots for sunset). Easy parking, also. If you're looking for total seclusion and privacy then this is probably not the spot for you, but if you want a great deal on a space that has everything you'd need for one to two people in the Kona area, definitely stay here. We would happily come back!
