Reviewer Comments:
Clean, well out-fitted, and comfortable accommodations near the water and on the main drag that is Ali’i Drive. Our group fully enjoyed the pool, hot tub, sauna and pool table recreation in common area, as well as the beach chairs and boogie board surprise assets at the condo. We did not use outdoor kitchen but plenty others did. Though you can just view a small slice of the ocean from lanai, you are so close you can hear occasional lifeguard PA announcements, which were very infrequent and kind of set the whole scene. The “magic” was not on our side during our stay, so the White Sand Beach was more of slippery rock entry, at your own risk, which we did and all went well. But that was the only bummer. Super great central location for driving to other beaches. 1 mile away is Kahalu’u Beach Park, which has fantastic snorkeling and view of sea turtles. Easy enough to get to Kona historical sites, beaches, snorkeling, surfing, canoeing, and boating opportunities, including manta ray experience, and restaurants, all within 30 minutes drive. Kohala up north or southern tip will take longer but that is the Big Island. Lots to do and see, so have your swimsuit, snorkel, taste buds and of course wallets at the ready. As with any Hawaiian island, do some prep reading on culture, historical and water safety before going, and leave with the ALOHA spirit.
