SPECTACTULARLY PERFECT!! Wonderful presentation of a great home on an active coffee farm. The pictures accurately described the amenities, and all the little special touches were fantastic--flowers throughout with fruit basket and especially the Wonderful Coffee sampler gift basket. Totally above and beyond!! Bananas and avocados on the property that the hosts are happy to share with guests.
Everything worked as it should; the home was very clean; the check in process was easy even though it was late at night; the location is very safe for all types of visitors; and the free ATV tour was fantastic (with the very knowledgeable Erica being the tour guide); we learned a lot about the cup of joe we get to drink each day; the views were fantastic; very quiet and peaceful; very helpful staff was next door at the Mountain Thunder coffee tasting room and gift shop--be sure to mention that you are staying at this vacstion rental; the kitchen and home was top-notch and well-appointed with all the latest utensils/pans/pots/towels/paper towels/napkins/toilet paper/trash bags/plastic baggies for sandwiches/sponge for cleaning pots and pans/dish and hand soap/dishwashing soap/laundry detergent/coffee filters for the week (and this was greatly appreciated to prevent the middle of the night runs to the store for cleaning products--and we will be leaving you _$extra money_$ to cover such supplies that we may have used or to 'pay it forward' to the next guests:), and many many other 'little nice touches' that this home has...
The elevation above sea level on the side of the mountain makes for some magical Hawaii weather--getting up in the morning with sun coming up over the mountain while sitting on the front porch and drinking coffee of course:); long walks down the quiet road looking for birds and wildlife; moving to the back lanai to view the ocean and coastline from a 3200 feet elevation allows a view of many miles along the Kona coast; then watching some clouds come in to nourish the 'cloud forest' ecosystem with mist; then watching the sunset from either the lower or upper lanai as the clouds part along the coast enabling you to watch the sunset without being directly in the sun (one of the few places you can do this); also please check out the unanimous 5 star rated cloud forest tour given by a University of Hawaii professor ("Norman") which is just down the street from this home where you turn on to the main road.
We have stayed in many vacation rentals worldwide. Lynn and the owners' hospitality (we were able to meet with them) have made this home of the _VERY BEST_ and this home especially sets a new & higher standard for AirBNB with regards to cleanliness and providing the paper towels/toilet paper/napkins that are essential for the first few nights--every AirBNB should do it this way (gentle _hint hint_ to other AirBNB members and hosts). Also, very few insects for a location in Hawaii--very pleasant throughout the entire week long stay...We bid you the fondest Aloha!!
