If you have the opportunity to stay at Kekoa’s place, you will not regret it! Located walking distance from the restaurants in Kailua-Kona, this place offers a fantastic view of the ocean and the street situated nearby. The fact that it is on the third floor gives the perfect view of the different Hawaiian sunsets you will see each night. Just note that you will have to take the stairs to get to the condo. It’s a workout, but couple it with a daily jog through Kona and you’ll be set!
The condo is CLEAN! You will not be disappointed with all of the provided amenities. We found the kitchen and washer/dryer combo to be the most useful. We try to pack light during our trips to the islands so being able to wash our clothes is essential. Pro-tip: The volume control on the television remote is on the right side of the remote. You’ll feel it with your index or middle fingers.
Kekoa is such a great host. Our stay happened to coincide with the arrival of Hurricane Lane. My wife and I prepared by getting some canned foods and water a few days beforehand. Lo and behold, when we got home, Kekoa had left us some extra water, a flashlight, and a lighter in case the situation got really bad. Thankfully, Lane never showed up, but the thoughtfulness of our host is something we’ll always remember.
Stay here if you get the chance! It’s awesome!!
