August and Daiva are by far my favorite Airbnb hosts ever. They made me (a solo female traveler) feel so welcome, safe and taken care of. Every morning I was met with coffee and stories about the island and world, maps with secret destinations, and recommendations for kono eateries. They supplied fresh fruit from their garden, which August built from scratch into a magnificent botanical wonderland, introduced me to a Hawaiian favorite papaya filled lilikoi, and lent me scuba gear which took me through my very first dive into the ocean, where sea turtles and parrot fish swam in splendor. My only regret was that I wasn't able to stay longer, I could have used more than three days to explore all of the suggested locations and insights they gave. They also gave me a beautiful shell lei as a welcome gift which I will cherish forever. I feel like August and Daiva are more like family and hope that upon my return to south kona will be staying there once again.
