Aloha! <br />Welcome to Kona Shores! Our 2 queen bed, 1 bath that can sleep 6, condo is in the most welcoming airbnb complex in Hawaii. Our complex really embraces the vaca rental mentality! <br /><br />We also have the only condo community pool in Kona that is actually on the ocean. So between the welcoming atmosphere and the ocean front pool you can't have a better vacation starting point that this... well unless you hate Pineapples. Its the theme of our decorating!<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />We have been hosting in Hawaii for 8 years now, so we have the experience to make your stay great! Every year we take feedback from our guests both good and bad and aim to improve our place. This year we reimagined the condo. Its still the same Place 99% of our guests loved.. but with some new guest friendly features! Read on!<br /><br />The First and most important change is TAXES are now included in the price!
