Michelle and Joe’s place was amazing.
We were greeted by Michelle with a bounty of fresh fruit grown on the property and homemade bread. The papaya was out of this world. Michelle was sure to also give us the low down on the surrounding areas and Kona. She gave us so many suggestions of amazing places to explore nearby and great places to eat. Her and Joe sent us to Makuu Point for a beautiful spot to watch the sunrise. We also ended up taking a hike down the Puna trail, which they suggested. An hour and 15 minutes through the jungle and you end up at the most gorgeous beach filled with giant Hawaiian sea turtles. Stunning. We were also so incredibly pleased with our actual stay too. The bed was very comfy, the place was stocked with all the amenities, a cute outdoor kitchen, and omg the sounds of the frogs and bugs at night could just send you into a deep slumber. All in all, Michelle and Joe were the best Airbnb hosts we’ve ever had. You’d be crazy to pass on such a lovely place!
