The location is unbeatable, and exactly as described - a wonderful apartment, with excellent use made of mirrors and space to make it seem light and airy while being very manageable and homely. The provision of all of the beach stuff was amazing, as well as a great system of guests leaving dates on food they could not consume, so you were never short of anything.

The place is a pleasant distance from Kona at about 3.5 miles out of town. Don't expect any walkable bars or restaurants, this place is next to a fantastic little public beach, but is perfectly designed for solitude.

Some of our favorite spots to jump off from were Kona brewery (15 minutes), Kua Bay (30 minutes), Coffee Shack at Captain Cook (20 minutes), and 2-step for snorkelling (30 minutes).

Sam and Connie were attentive, good with instructions, and available, and welcomed any feedback or questions during our stay as well.

There's nothing at all bad to say about this place. It's a perfect paradise on Hawaii's big island and the value for money was amazing. A home away from home.
