Teddy & David’s guesthouse is probably my most favorite air bnb I’ve ever booked. It was my first time staying in a unit on the same lot as the owners, but they were superhosts and had great reviews, so I thought I’d give it a go. Ultimately, I’m so glad I did.
Plumeria Cottage is a cute little guest house off the side of Teddy and David s yard. It has your own gravel driveway where we were able to park our rental car. A couple steps off the driveway lead to a beautiful porch that had comfy chairs and string lights hanging off the fence - the coziest little porch I’ve ever seen. We used our personal code for the keypad to let ourselves in as the front door was literally right there (super easy by the way). Right off the bat, I was in awe, as was my fiancé that kept saying “Wow, this is nice! You did good!” First thing I remember noticing was how nice it smelled. Second thing was the peaceful music playing softly in the background. I have never walked into a hotel or air bnb that had music playing in the background like that, but let me tell you, that was such a brilliant touch and made a great first impression of the entire place. Another cool thing they had were LED lights lining the sides of the ceiling that were able to change colors. There were many other things we appreciated, like the clean bathroom and shower. The first thing I look at while searching for an air bnb are pictures of what the bathroom/shower looks like. I cannot stand a dirty bathroom and shower, so thank you to Teddy and David for a clean one! They also welcomed us with a gift basket that had a small bottle of sparkling wine, wine glasses, and chocolate for the both of us. I thought that was a cute touch and very generous of them. The bed was comfy and had such cool looking ceiling fans in both the sleeping and living space. My fiancé’s most favorite thing was the white noise sound machine they had as he cannot sleep in silence. He liked it so much that he just ordered himself one online haha. Another thing we appreciated was the air conditioner, of course. Also, although we didn’t have to use it, they have a small washer/dryer unit that can be very useful.
Overall, our stay here at Teddy and David’s Plumeria Cottage deserved every star they can get. It was clean, it smelled amazing, the location was ideal, it provided adequate privacy, and it was air conditioned! We will definitely be visiting the Big Island again soon, and would be so lucky to stay here a second time. Thank you, Teddy & David!
