This was my husband's first time on the Big Island and I hadn't been on the island in about 25 years. We wanted a place to stay that was economical and clean. We came across Judith's listing on Airbnb. It looked clean and cozy. In addition, it seemed like an adventure. It definitely was a wonderful place. The property is nestled up in the lush side of a mountain on the Kona coast. We weren't able to see the sunset completely through the trees but it was still a fascinating event. The stars at night were amazing, very bright and seemed close enough to touch. The common area was really nice, although we didn't use it because we spent our three days touring the island and didn't get much time at Judith's.
We purchased food based on pictures of the unit prior to arrival. We were surprised when we arrived to find that the toaster oven in the picture was not actually in the unit. I contacted Judith and Katie to find out if it was available. They did offer to bring us one but explained that it was drawing too much power so they removed it. The unit's power is dependent on the solar panels charging each day. Being extremely conservative with our power and water use, we completely understood and worked around the situation. I also, eventually, got used to the toilet. Kudos to Judith for making it very clear what to expect.
The next time we stay at Big Island, Tiny Village, we plan to spend more time absorbing the ambiance of the property since we have now seen most of the attractions everywhere else.
Thanks Judith and Katie for hosting us. We truly enjoyed it.
