Oh my gosh, Shelly and Tom were the FRIENDLIEST hosts I've ever had the pleasure of staying with!! They were so warm and welcoming, utterly lovely people, and they even left me a post-it note next to the coffee maker in the morning to let me know how to start it -- they'd already loaded the grounds for me. Just thoughtful, open, delightful people... staying with them was like experiencing the original hosting premise of AirBnb back in the day. And don't even get me started on their cat, Lovebug -- I fell in love immediately and was rewarded with the sweetest purrs and cuddles.
Shelly and Tom's place is in such a peaceful part of town, a quick drive from downtown Kona. Their lanai is to DIE for and it's the perfect breezy, ocean-view place to enjoy all the natural beauty around you. The room had a comfy bed, a private bathroom, and a great ceiling fan which quickly lulled me to sleep. I can't wait to come again when I'm on the Big Island next.
THANK YOU, Shelly and Tom!
