Kahaluu Bay Across from Snorkel Beach - Awesome Ocean View

Spotted whales from the lanai!!!!!

Great location, hosts, and amenities.

Incredible views from the balcony (top floor) and living/dining rooms of the rocky beach, waves, sunset. Owners were wonderful and communicative, they provided many ideas of things to do over text and in a binder. Everything very clean, modern, well-cared for. Walk to snorkeling where we saw tons of fish, turtles, etc. Also walk to surf lessons. Tons of beach gear included, well stocked kitchen, cleaning supplies, extras like ziploc bags and aloe. The backyard is wonderfully wild with trees, animals, lava tubes, etc. Lots of birds, tons of day & night geckos, cool bugs, frogs. There were no bugs/critters inside the house, only outside. If you're afraid of a little nature, you may want to stay in a hotel elsewhere. To get into the unit, you need to go up 3 floors of stairs outside, good railings and good footing. Covered assigned parking. Air conditioning was great. The AC is centralized, vents in all rooms. We need AC to sleep and it got nice & cool at night in both bedrooms. Bedrooms face the back which is nice to avoid the occasional street sounds (no ocean sounds, but you do get bug & frog song). Narrow two lane street and 1 row of houses separating you from the ocean, but the houses are so low they do not obscure the view. Having two bathrooms was great, both well laid out and modern. 10 min drive to downtown Kona, 5 min to grocery & a few restaurants, 10 min to the dock for manta ray tours, 15-20 min to restaurants outside touristy areas. Would return!

Duane I was positive communicative and very quick to respond if we had questions. I appreciate him so much and he and his wife provided an apartment that had all the things we could need from a boogie board to snorkel equipment to towels to portable chairs for the beach and it’s also a wonderfully equipped home Away From Home apartment with a good kitchen, Great mattresses, and the air-conditioning. Wonderful.
