Carling's apartment is literally across the street from a beautiful beach with white sand, ocean that adults can swim in, and tidepools to explore. You are awakened in the morning by bird song, and can listen to the birds as you enjoy dinner on the comfortable patio. Our family enjoyed staying in this apartment with its clean and well-stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, and stocked beach amenities to make our stay super fun. The apartment is centrally located in Kona so that you are a quick drive in either direction to restaurants and shops. Carling provided many tips and suggestions for practical -and also fun- places to find, and was available by text message whenever we had a question. The a/c unit had a glitch the first morning we were there, and Carling had it repaired within a few hours of my texting him. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!
