First off, the property was easy to find and drive to from the airport (the advent of smart phones with map apps helps immensely). The property is located high in the hills above Kailua-Kona, and, again from the airport, Costco is on the way to it and a Safeway Grocery Store is nearby as well. It is secluded, away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy spots. The tranquility is lovely. It is amazing, however, how many birds are singing. At night all of nature comes alive with "noise" (bugs, birds, cows mooing, horses neighing). It is probably 10 degrees cooler than at the shore and it rains more, but that just means the area is lusher and greener. Very beautiful. The studio is well maintained with wi-fi and Netflix, which was fantastic. The closet is very spacious and all the amenities, such as a washer/dryer, are very nice. If you want to experience a more serene, authentic Hawaiian getaway instead of being with the visitors in the cookie cutter timeshares in Waikoloa or with all the confused tourists in cramped Kailua-Kona town, this is the place for you. Also, the price is outstanding.
