Excellent Getaway!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with HomeAway and my stay at Denise and Bundy's condo in Kailua-Kona. The view was spectacular from the lanai! The complex is right on the shore of the ocean and this condo is situated just over the pool and hot-tub, and with an uninhibited view of the ocean. Everything that you need is there: a fully equipped kitchen, including pots, pans, dishes, eating utensils, glasses, and spices for cooking, television, cd player, linen, washer and dryer - all of the amenities of home and nicely furnished. The furniture on the lanai is perfect for eating meals or just relaxing. There are also additional outdoor chairs, binoculars, and I believe that I saw snorkeling equipment (not my thing) in the condo. There are 4 gas grills in the common area near the pool. The area just outside of the pool is great for lounging and watching the sunset - the sunsets are beautiful! I had one minor maintenance problem that was readily resolved.
The terrain is very rocky at the shore in this area so I would suggest water shoes if you want to spend time in the water. However, there is a beach front next door and several others in the immediate area. I was there for a personal writing retreat and I wrote at the table on the lanai most days. That is to say that the weather was great and the noise level was mild to medium. Most of the guests in the complex were families during my stay. Kailua-Kona is a little slow but great for people who want to snorkel, dive, parasail, etc. Not really the party scene. Great coffee, for the coffee lovers
Great space for 2-3 people; however the bed as well as the sofa pullout is a double (I believe). There were two of us, so this space worked quite well. I would stay here again!
Owner's Response: Happy to have you as our guests. Thanks for the great review and we hope to see you again.
Bundy & Denise
