My partner and I had the pleasure of staying with Chandy for our week on the Big Island. The location is perfect, its 1 min drive from the airport, but its not under the flight path, so you forget how close you are. Its also only 10 mins from the main tourist area of Kona, id expect it to be even less once the road expansion is complete. The Big Island dictates the need for a rental car as its so big and vast, and it was easy to park it every night at Chandys Airbnb. Chandy and Sado are lovely people! it felt like i was just staying with a family friend, rather than a strangers house, in my 5 week usa holiday, this was by far the greatest airbnb experience. There is a family dog that shares the house, but its more a living teddy bear, than a dog. Amazingly gentle, friendly and quiet dog. The guest areas were all amazingly clean, without even a stray dog hair. so dont let the dog put you off, youll love him!! We also made good use of the kitchen, well equiped and modern. One night Chandy babysat her granddaughter (as pictured), who was lovely to meet, but dont stress as once again, it wont impact your stay. Theres no reason why you shouldnt stay here. Thank You Heaps for your great hospitality !
