We enjoyed staying in this unit. It was close enough to downtown Kona for shopping, eating, and tours, yet far enough away to be out of the hustle and bustle of the centre of town. We loved having the lanai so close to the water. It was great for sunsets, and relaxing listening to the waves. We even got to see a traditional Hawaiian memorial one day and a surf completion another day! The condo had everything we needed, had plenty of room and was quiet.
