Caryl (and John) should be mentors for any prospective hosts on airbnb. They have the details down pat on making a guest feel right at home and respected. The kitchen and bath are surprisingly well-stocked with amenities and everything is sparkling clean upon your arrival. Even the living area has cd's, dvd's and books for your entertainment along with big screen TV. Caryl does an exceptional job communicating and preparing for your arrival. The place itself is only minutes from the airport, which is super convenient. Suggestions on where to go and what to see are accessible via emails prior to your arrival to better assist planning your vacation on the Big Island. My closing tip: do not hesitate...book now!
