I'm personally glad we decided to stay at an Airbnb rather than a hotel because of the more homey feel the place offered. The longish entry way, full kitchen, living area, balcony with a view, 2 bathrooms - I think it beats a hotel room stay any day. All listed amenities were there, including essential items for beach outings (cooler, beach towels, chairs, etc.). A very quiet place that is accessible to "everything" so long as you have a ride. There's no elevator, so carrying luggage up to floors above the ground is slightly challenging. My friend said only fans are commonly used in Kona, but it was awesome that A/C was available; it really helped to cool down the entire place in the hot'n humid weather. An excellent stay that I recommend for a party of 3-4!
