Kara and Corey’s place was absolutely fantastic. It was very adorable and equipped with everything you could think of (from cooking ingredients to new toothbrushes and feminine products)! The place was as advertised and is only 10 - 15 minutes from Kona Airport. It was a nice and safe neighborhood. The only thing I would note is the croaking of the Coqui frogs at night, but I learned that they’re around all of big island so probably would be heard elsewhere as well.
Overall, a wonderful stay. Kara was very responsive. Recommend! :)
