Rachelle's home is AMAZING. The view from the back of the house is unparalleled. It is a very open and comfortable home and it was loaded with everything we could possibly need (and more!). Hands down the best Airbnb experience we've ever had. Rachelle was very communicative and helpful and provided lots of information about the area and things to do and see and everything in the house had instructions which were very easy to follow. Rachelle was a superb host and I highly recommend staying at her home - she is a very nice and sweet lady. The home, by the way, is easily big enough for a family of four (2BR/2BA) and it was such a nice place to just relax. If you decide to stay here you should definitely fly into the airport at Kona (and NOT Hilo - like I did *whoops*) because Kona is only about an hour away. The side of the island where this house is usually stays dry - we had just a couple showers throughout the week while we were there. Also, to make things even more outstanding, Rachelle provides snorkeling gear and beach towels and beach chairs and a two person kayak!! We used the snorkeling gear a good bit and the marine life just mere steps away from the home is incredible! Using the kayak was not so easy (mainly getting it into the water from the rocks) but if you are adventurous you'll find a way. You should definitely do like we did and stock up on groceries when you arrive and cook your meals in the home - saves on money and you get to cook with great Hawaiin food (we bought some delicious fish from the market and grilled it - wonderful). A word of caution with the location of the home is that it is located at the end of a very winding three mile road (with hairpin turns) which is going down about 1000ft or so to sea level and it could make the squeamish or car sick folks a little nervous/nauseous (or if you are like me it will be kinda fun). The home is about a 30 minute drive (in either direction) from the nearest market (1 hour from Walmart) so you will do a lot of driving if you have to make multiple trips when you forget things (like we did). But it seems like this is normal for all of the island as it seems like from any point in the island you are about an hour away from something (beach, volcano, shopping, etc.). We had the best time ever here - simply wonderful and amazing and the only thing we regret is that we should have stayed here longer! Thank you Rachelle!
