Incredibly kind and hospitable. We were floored by their generosity and all the suggestions of things to do, places to go, foods to eat! Loved going up north to the black sand beach that Bill recommended, which was definitely a highlight for us. The waterfalls up north were incredible and a must see. We also loved going to captain cook and visiting the snorkel spot Bill suggested at Two Step which for me was one of my favorite things we did during the trip. Our favorite food place ended up being Krua Thai in town which was amazing, some of the best that we have ever had. Also thought Magic’s food was great with a fun beach nearby. Teshimas near the BnB was great too for an easy bite and their Kona fried rice was awesome. Bill also suggested the manta ray snorkeling, which was amazing. So in short Bill and Karina know what’s good on the island, and you can trust their advice ;)
As for the AirBnB we loved being outside of Kona proper and in the coffee country. It was incredibly beautiful with some of the best sunsets we saw while we were there. The coffee shops let you tour and try the beans. A coffee shop not on a farm we liked was Kaya coffee which had some great bagels and Kombucha. The place was perfect for our 4 night stay and we ate several meals there. The guest suite has mesh windows to allow for airflow and it honestly was lovely getting to hear the nature at night. We also watched a movie on their big screen and enjoyed the lovely place. Would highly recommend this spot and would be happy to let anyone else know some things we enjoyed while in Kona and exploring the Big Island! Mahalo!!
