This was our first experience staying at an airbnb property with the owners in the same home, and our vacation experience was certainly enhanced by Bob, Karen, and Cooper. Both Bob and Karen go out of their way to make their guests feel very welcome, comfortable, and Cooper certainly helped with making us smile on a daily basis. Bob's home and amenities are first class and very beautiful, as well as the surrounding area and the Mana Lani Resort. We especially enjoyed getting to know Bob and Karen (and of course Cooper) and felt like we were "old friends" by the end of our trip. Bob and Karen were wonderful in recommending places to site-see, hikes, restaurants, and great little markets to purchase amazing fish! This was especially helpful since this was our first time on the Big Island, and knowing where the "locals" go really made our trip even that much more enjoyable. We would absolutely stay with Bob and Karen again as they are incredible hosts, and would also welcome the love from Cooper!!! Great place to stay and you will love it!! Thanks again Bob, Karen, and Cooper, for making our time in Kona very memorable!!
