This is my first Airbnb booking and I am blown away! Charming hosts and a very pretty property. It feels like home at once! And just minutes from the airport!
After a very long and difficult journey to Kona, Sylvia chirppily invites me for a drink and makes me dinner. Karen helps me plan my itinerary for the rest of my stay since I’ve lost a day getting there. They are always available yet discreet, leaving me the space to do my own thing.
I had the chance to walk around their lovely abode. Various fruit trees and flowering plants simply “volunteer” to grow. Every nook and cranny has a use, I’ve lost count of the number of spots where one can sit and soak in the surroundings, with the unobstructed views of a Hawaiian sunset and twinkling stars above.
Sylvia is ever generous with her bountiful fruits (eating longans from the tree!) and bakes. The outdoor shower is very private and well stocked with shampoos and shower gels. I am also thankful for the many hangers in the closet! And I love the lanai and well equipped pantry. Very thoughtful. No a/c? No problem! It’s cool enough with just the ceiling fan on. I have the best sleep in the comfy bed, waking up to birds chirping :-)
My stay has been especially unforgettable partly because of them. They are genuine and spontaneous. We bonded over wines in several balmy evenings.
I am spoilt by Sylvia and Karen. They are simply the hostess with the mostest! I will definitely stay with them again on my next visit!
