A cozy, comfortable, well-appointed place near everything to do in Kona.
The proximity to the beach is a bit oversold--it's a couple block walk on a fairly busy street to reach the ocean access, which is a rocky beach with some interesting tidepools but not much sand. That said, it's only 10 minutes south to a wonderful public beach with surprisingly good snorkeling (a great intro to snorkeling for kids). It has all the beach (chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards) and snorkeling gear you need (it could use one more mask and snorkel, but renting is not difficult). If you want a great sandy beach I recommend heading north to Hapuna Beach Park. Pretty popular spot, but it's so big and has so much parking it doesn't feel crowded.
Overall a very comfortable spot and a good value for the money.
