Pacific 19 Kona sits in the heart of Kailua-Kona and was part of the former Kona Seaside Hotel located across the street from Kailua Bay. It reopened in 2023 after it closed for long-awaited renovations. The Pacific 19 Kona buildings were built over time several...
Although most of the Hawaii's Big Island condos are long term, a few vacation units are highly desirable. Large well-decorated units, killer oceanside location in Kailua-Kona (you can hear the surf from all the rooms) and a tiny pocket beach make this property a...
