Kona House // Ocean View //Cold AC//5 Min to beach

As you walk to the coffee maker, the ocean view greets you on your left while the expansive living room invites you to claim your seat on the couch. You’re glad you have good WiFi, but you sure hope the boss doesn’t email you. Being close to beaches, restaurants, and entertainment is great too, but maybe you’ll cook in this gourmet kitchen.
