Paul and Tami were wonderful hosts and the house exceeded all our expectations. It was incredible to wake up each morning and see the epic view of the Pacific Ocean and volcanic mountains, bathed in sunshine. There was absolutely no traffic or neighbourhood noise - the houses in the area are quite far apart. You wake up to the sound of birds and a view of the ocean every morning. If you're looking for a restful vacation stay that’s perfect in every way, this one is it.
The house was large and comfortable. The kitchen was one of the best equipped of any Airbnb we've stayed at with lots of dishes, cookware and utensils, with all the modern appliances and lots of counter space. There was a large outdoor dining area where we had breakfast in the mornings and took in that gorgeous view. The house stays cool during the day and at night we slept with the patio doors open so there was a lovely breeze throughout the rooms. The bed was amazing - it was more comfortable than our own very expensive king size bed in our own home!
The house is about 20 minutes south of the lovely and historic artistic community of Hawi and the rainforests just beyond. Kona is about a 45-minute drive south. It's a great base from which you can go exploring the island, as we did.
We would (and definitely hope to) stay here again on our next trip to the big island of Hawai'i!
