This is an ideal condo to stay in when you hoy to Kīlauea Kona. Has everything you could possibly need during your stay. Right in the heart of Kīlauea town so you can walk anywhere. Shops, Restaurants and bars just steps away but still secluded enough for a quiet nights sleep.Laundry facilities on property. Very traditional Hawaii. You and your significant other will live it.

This location is great for walking to the many coffee shops and restaurants in the downtown area of Kailua-Kona. There is also a cute little shopping mall, an ABC store, and a farmers market nearby. The main beach in town is a fairly easy walk from the condo, and the pool and hot tub on the property are also great. Inside, the condo has everything you need to relax and have fun: fully outfitted kitchen, comfy living room and bed, nice little patio area, beach chairs and umbrella, and a variety of beach toys for kids of all ages.

Outstanding Stay! I do want to mention that if you arrive later in the afternoon or night, there will probably be no parking spots and to be prepared to go to a pay lot..... Another minor situation is that it takes the shower water a couple minutes to get warm. However - I would stay there again!

Quick 15 min Uber ride from airport. Checkin was easy. Walk to beach, pier, shopping, restaurants, luau, convenience store. Pro tip: Have snacks/bottle water/fresh foods delivered or grocery store is a doable walk, but a hike.

Great condo in great location, walk to all the local eating and drinking spots. Especially loved all the beach equipment in the closet, which we didn’t expect but added greatly to our daily beach visits(snorkels, boogie board, beach and regular umbrellas, insulated back pack cooler, etc).

The location was excellent. The condo was somewhat updated but it needed a few cosmetic updates. Unfortunately it smelled of mold which might be due to being by the beach. Parking is not easy. There is no late check out unless you pay for it dearly. We left the condo early came back a couple minutes before our check out time and the cleaning person was already in the condo, so should work both ways. Condo does come completely stocked with towels, erc etc plenty of things for the beach and pool.
