500 words is not enough to describe the value of this incredible Airbnb home. It's a true gem and I expect it will soon be flooded with many many more reviews. In my opinion, they should be charging more for this place.

After another host canceled at the last minute, John expediently responded to my request to stay at his home, and the next day he was home to greet us upon our arrival. The home itself is beautifully appointed, surpassing my expectations after looking at the photos. In addition to the quality of the furniture and finishings, it was nice that the layout of the property gives guests a more private room and bathroom, distanced from the rest of the home.

The hosts are extremely nice, helpful, and fun. Originally we were planning to rent a full home to ourselves, but in retrospect, my trip would not have been as spectacular as it was if it were not for John and Anthony. We visited rather spontaneously without much of a plan, and they helped guide us to the best sights on the island. They even personally took us up to the top of Mauna Kea the first evening, which can only be done with a 4WD vehicle!

They truly did everything they could to make our stay perfect. They were so generous, that I felt guilty after accepting so much from them. Borrowing aspirin, winter jackets, rain jackets, beach towels, and a tripod. Being invited to share tea, coffee, and breakfast in the morning, and dinner one night. It was really far too nice of them.

I researched *every* airbnb property on The Big Island, and I highly recommend you stay here! It made our trip.
