This was the first time we booked an AirBNB and the hosts made it super easy and smooth. They kept in touch all the way through check out to make sure we had the best stay possible.
If you don't mind staying a little out from Kona for the price it's perfect. You have a beautiful view of the valley below as well as the ocean. There is also a cute little coffee shop and grocery store down the road that's super easy to get to.
Next time I'm in Hawaii I would definitely stay here again for the location, quite nature and overall experience.
