This nicely updated, second-floor condo (no elevator) is in the heart of Kailua-Kona and is perfect for a romantic getaway or a solo trip! Take advantage of the location to have easy jaunts to Ali'i Drive where you can find shopping, dining, and a constant ocean view. Come home after a day at the beach to turn on the A/C unit which cools the entire house quietly and effortlessly. If you need to take a work call or just Zoom your friends or family, the free high-speed WiFi can more than accommodate you. Don't forget to take a day poolside which has plenty of loungers, shade when you need it, and a beautiful pool.
For the best oceanfront shopping and dining, head .5 miles down to Ali'i Drive. Shopping, you'll find anything you need from "slippahs" (flip-flops) to board shorts, to jewelry. Dining you can have a wide range of experiences from breakfast at Lava Java to a happy hour at Laverne's, Huggo's, or even mainland favorite Outback Steakhouse. Pick up an excursion boat or lounge on the sand at Kailua Harbor just .4 miles away. For a tour, alfresco dining, and fun for everyone, go see the newly remodeled Kona Brewery less than a mile away. If you forgot anything, you can always pick it up at Target, Ross, and treat yourself to a Dairy Queen - all just one mile away.

Short stay on the Big Island
This property was adequate for our needs however there were several disappointing items. There were many stairs at this property and no elevator that was not clearly disclosed, difficult for people with mobility issues. The parking space was far from the unit. The condo was a little tired. The description claimed it had been recently updated but the only thing we saw was newer flooring in the bedroom and living room. The bath tub was dirty and stained. The A/C in the living room was not adequate to cool the entire unit, had the temperature been higher it would have been very uncomfortable. We would not rent this unit again.

Great Location
Some reviews claimed it was dated. The place isn’t bad at all. A fan in the bathroom would be my only comment. The rest of the place was great. You’re only a 8 minutes walk to the main stretch of restaurants, beaches, cafe etc
A ten minute drive from the airport. We’d loved our stay here.
Property was as described and communication was easy. Good location for our needs. Was hard to locate where to put garbage at end of stay. Would book again.
