Everything was great from the get-go! When we took slightly longer to check in the first night, Elaine messaged us to ask when we would be arriving so they could be there to greet us.
The house is super stylishly constructed by Vernon, with beautiful interiors including a fully-stocked kitchen and a fancy bathroom! There was even sparkling wine chilling in the fridge and we were invited to help ourselves, but being non-drinkers we didn’t.
They gave us a quick mini-tour of the house and made suggestions for restaurants and beaches to visit (both of which we heeded and enjoyed thoroughly). They were easy to communicate with and we had no issues with any of the amenities. Although they had warned us that the frogs outside could get a bit raucous at night, both of us slept like logs since we were always tired from the day’s activities.
The location is simply perfect too; Safeway and downtown Kona is 10 mins away, and so is the airport. They even thoughtfully provided boogie boards, beach towels, an umbrella and a snorkelling set, all of which we utilised.
All in all, excellent space to stay in, and Elaine and Vernon are absolutely lovely and personable. We loved the three nights spent there and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering a few nights in the Kona area.
