We weren't sure at first whether we should stay here because there were no reviews yet. We took our chances and boy are we HAPPY that we did! The hosts (Teague & Corrie) went above and beyond to make sure that we felt comfortable. Even talking to us on the phone, sending us many suggestions for things to do on the island, and being very accommodating to our late arrival and late departure.
The house itself was immaculately clean and beautiful. Sitting on the lanai every morning and evening was the best way to start and end the day. The hosts put so much thought into every detail in the house. If you stay here all you need to bring are your clothes, as the house was stocked with everything you could possibly need and more. The kitchen included any cookware you could imagine, spices, tupperware, aluminum foil, cooking oil, coffee, sugar, etc. which allowed us to cook great meals at the house. Bathrooms were all equipped with hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap, makeup remover. Beach equipment included: snorkel gear, body boards, surf board, umbrellas, chairs, cooler w ice pack, kids beach toys, and beach towels.
The house is centrally located : a quick 5 min walk to Magic Sands beach, ~20 minute walk to the main strip of Kona. It's a great spot to stage from for day tours throughout the island as everything is in such close proximity. It is approximately 20 min from the airport and near a Safeway, Walmart and Costco. Although you are close to the hustle and bustle of Kona you are still far enough away that you get a very relaxed feel.
Honestly, this is probably THE BEST AIRBNB WE HAVE EVER STAYED AT. We look forward to coming back again in 2019 if this place isn't booked solid!
Thanks for everything Teague and Corrie!
