One of the BEST experience I've had for airbnb.
1) The host: Don't get me wrong, there was a slight hiccup in that there was an unexpected shortage of water after a newly rented out 2nd unit of the property that shares the hot water source, but upon notifying Chris about this issue, he literally showed up at our door within 3 minutes to adjust the water heater to accommodate our shower needs. (He does live within a minute away, but when have you gotten that kinda hands-on responsiveness ever?)
Besides that, Chris has been nothing less than super friendly, respectful, hospitable, and helpful in every way. He had made us feel welcomed on a more personal level, and has made our stay as pain free and smooth as possible.
2) The place: Omg, the view is to DIE for, from sunrise to sunset, you literally can just stay in and have a nice cup of coffee at the lanai's table, and it'd still be an authentic pacific island experience in itself just enjoying the view with a book over some poke. I'm not exaggerating. I know that airbnb sends out photog for the airbnb plus program to take photos that passes their plus program's standards, but THAT doesn't even do it justice.
The rest of the place is very well thought out, in both decor and amenities. Little items like the keurig, the guest book, the provided sun screen and bug spray, beach gears, etc., all speaks volume on how much thought has been put into the place. We felt very well taken cared of.
3) The location: It was VERY close to the kona-kailua side of things, so you will be minutes away from either the beach, the town, the resort side of things, while having easy access to the bigger roads that covers the nature outings else where.
In conclusion, yes, will be staying here again if we go back :)
