We stayed at this terrific condo for 3 weeks, April-May 2017. The following are some of the highlights we would like to share: +This is a top floor end unit with 180 degree magnificent oceanfront view. The view is additionally enhanced by the wonderful tropical coconut palms and marvelous landscaping;+Floor plan-Open beam ceilings with outstanding open floor plan, with the majority of the living area, including the master bedroom, facing out onto the ocean;+Very quiet unit-The only sounds to be heard was that of the ocean, the rustling of the palms in a delightful breeze, and the birds singing in the morning;+Lesley, the manager, is very service oriented, and treats this condo as if she was the owner. She is the best. Thanks again Lesley;+The Keauhou surf and racket club is a perfectly maintained, lovely gated community. It is conveniently located about 2 miles or so south of Kona;+There are several Farmer's Markets, but our favorite is located in the downtown area of Kona on Alii dr. It is open Tuesdays and Thursdays. You will find an incredible selection of fresh tropical fruit, vegetables, flowers and a nice selection of gift shops;+With regards to restaurants in Kona, Huggos, on the oceanfront, in the middle of the settlement was our favorite. For a really special treat, we highly recommend the amazing buffet breakfast or brunch at Four Seasons, Hualalai Resort. This resort is located on the oceanfront about 10 miles north of Kona. In addition to the out of this world food, the resort is gorgeous and worth the visit alone;+Mauna Loa is currently active and well worth a visit+We have visited the Hawaiian Islands many times since the 1960s, and we rank this visit at the top. We plan on returning.
