Location. Location. Location — make sure you want to be near the touristic town of Kailua-Kona bc this is very close. It’s also the on the water, Pacific side, of the beachfront drag of Ali’i. So many “pluses”, all of them beach-and-tourism-related.
Now for Home-truths... nobody appears to live here, so if you are looking for a ‘home-away-from-home’ feeling, this is not it. Meaning: not a fully equipped with spices, ample dishes, lots of pots — nope not a gourmet kitchen...it’s a beach house vibe, right (you eat out a lot ? Great!) But it’s certainly certainly adequate. Same with bedding, but there’s enough. Huge plus is the washer & dryer, and parking space (so if you need any extras —buy them, no problem). It’s all here, but I’m just saying if you are a passionate cook or napper, haha, you won’t find that here.
You will find - blazing fast WiFi, proximity to a great body-boarding beach. Easy on-site parking. The beautiful, roaring ocean . Host was communicative, we’d stay again. Dolphins leaping in ocean off massive deck — lovely.
