This was a cool little place. The beach gear was a great perk. The property is up a steep hill from the airport. It’s about a 15 minute drive further uphill to the main road, then downhill to downtown Kailua-Kona.
The views are pretty good since it’s way up the hill. Privacy is okay, although the little lanai is slightly within view of a neighbors front yard. The front door (sliding glass) isn’t lockable from the outside. The screen sliding door locks but isn’t the most secure, so it might be a good idea to keep valuables in the safe provided when you are gone.
Overall this place was a great value and we had no regrets for our stay.
