We stayed at 3 different AirBnbs as we made our way from Hilo to Kona, Scooter’s place is our absolute favorite!! Fosho!
Right when we got there we were greeted by Scooter, who is such a welcoming presence. He is fully of hospitality and informed us well about the studio, appliances/amenities (the husband was excited about the milk frother & 100% Kona coffee Scooter provided lol, and I was about the nutribullet), his amazing tropical garden, and the coqui frog symphony at night 😂 Plus just talking story with Scooter was lots of fun 😊 the studio is very clean, so cute, and comfortable. We wished we could stay longer!
We have been learning to slow down more on our vacations (instead of packing it with activities and feeling exhausted, we don’t have as much energy now that we’re 33 😂), part of that was achieved through relaxing in his garden. I had such a peaceful morning of sitting and watching the beautiful birds in his garden (saffron finches for example 😍).
Also Greenwell Coffee farm is just 3 min away, with their awesome free tour and coffee tasting. After we just grabbed some lunch & popsicle from Randy’s Hulu chicken down the street, sat in Scooter’s garden and enjoyed a lovely lunch. Invited him to have a popsicle and met his pretty girl cat Brad. Also it’s an easy, quick drive to Kona.
Overall, we loved staying there and would love to stay there again whenever we’re in town!! Mahalo nui loa Scooter for the aloha & heart you’ve put into this place!! - Kai of Jack & Kai ☺️
