KEAUHOU
Kanaloa at Kona These big, comfortable, well-managed, and spacious
vacation condos border the rocky coast beside Keauhou Bay, 6 miles south of
Kailua-Kona. They're exceptional units, ideal for families, with comforts such as
huge bathrooms with whirlpool bathtubs, dressing rooms, and bidets. In addi-

ocean view. Golf and tennis are nearby. This is the place to book if you are going
