Great location. Very close to restaurants. Quiet area. Nice view!We appreciated the tips and suggestions!Nice to have a private parking area. Avoid renting very large vehicles since the space is tight. The condo was nice and well appointed. We really appreciated the washer and dryer. The beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, wagon, beach towels, and scuba gear made our stay much easier. Mahalo!

Our host, Maria, was an excellent communicator. We found Maria and Kent’s Kona home to be very comfortable and in a great walkable location to restaurants and shops along Kona’s downtown area and the water. We also enjoyed the design choices they made in their home… so cute! The kitchen is very well appointed with great appliances. The king bed was VERY comfortable! We will definitely book again when the opportunity presents itself!
