We highly recommend this condo, with its ocean views right in the middle of Kona where all the action is. It was great to be in town and be able to walk everywhere. Yes, you can sometimes hear the street noise over the pounding waves, but we found it was not overwhelming.
Rather, it was interesting and not annoying. It's a perfect place to both people watch and whale/dolphin/sunset watch. The condo itself is well appointed, with upscale furniture, bedding, and linens. The manager, Tom, greeted us in the parking lot, helped us with our luggage, and spent quite a bit of time going over the various aspects of the condo, which was very helpful. Thanks, Tom! Overall, this was a great place to stay, and we will come back!
