Travel tips
Plan on driving: the unit has one dedicated parking stall, and Kona town, Costco, restaurants, and beaches are reached by road; the Costco route is described as hilly. The listed distance to Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport is 9,467 m, while the property description gives 7.5 miles, so allow for the discrepancy when estimating travel time. Early check-in is only approved if the unit is ready, and only registered guests are permitted on the property.
