Had a great month-long stay at the condo unit we rented right in Kona. Unit had everything we needed for our stay, was clean and spacious, and was in a great location - road was a little busy for walking into town with young kids but we did it a few times and it was only about 10 minutes (but also easy to drive in and find street parking). Unit is right next to the pool and workout room, so very convenient and was easily able to keep an eye on kids if they're playing in the grass or pool area (while I was working remotely). Parking was just outside the unit and very easy to come and go. The pool was a bit noisy most nights with others using it and the pool house grill and tables. Pool was about to be remodeled following our stay, so I know it will be even more amazing for future renters! Upstairs lanai offered an amazing view of the ocean for sunsets, surfers, and enjoying the Hawaiian sites. Location was awesome - easy to get north and south, or head mauka to Hilo side or Mauna Kea. Really great unit and location to spend a month on Big Island!

Pearl's location couldn't be a better place to spend time in Kona. Fair warning, if you're looking for a place to rowdily enjoy nature and party, this isn't the place for you as the place is much more family oriented, but if you're looking for a lovely place to reconnect with close friends and family, a place to enjoy the sweet Hawaiian sunshine on a private balcony, the property in B-4 is the place to be. Pearl's place features 3 spacious bedrooms, a kitchen with almost every possible amenity, 2 balconies: one on the bottom floor, and one on the top floor of the master bedroom, and an open air living room with a TV, Alexa, and couches to lazily read a novel on. Additionally, B-4 has an array of spices / cooking materials to use, and card games nearby. Location wise -- the apartment is in a great spot. Nestled right next to a beach, often frequented by surfers which you can see from the balcony, you can easily walk to the beach (3 minute walk away) to unwind and watch the sunset, or go to downtown (10 minute walk) to go out and eat (tacos, drinks, American food, Sushi, Indian food among other options). It is a good balance between being far away from the bustle of town to be a quiet place to relax, but close enough to not be too far from the action! I might also add that the apartment has a pool and small gym nearby. Beyond the above, Pearl (host) is incredibly responsive and is there to help you with any concerns or questions. I hope you can get the privilege of staying in her apartment -- it is a true gem.
