We had a wonderful stay at Davids home in Kona! Upon arrival - in the middle of the night - we had a tough time finding the home but David stayed on the line with us and helped us locate it. We really appreciated how attentive he was as a host.
The home itself could not be in a better location and the outside space is divine. We ate dinner and played cards out there most evenings. We also used the hot tub each evening and boy - couldn’t get a better view (ocean + stars)!
We spotted a pod of dolphins, swam with a turtle, fed the eels and foraged for sea urchin (note size and quantity requirements if you decide to do this) in the bay out front.
The furnishings are comfortable- especially the two beds that have memory foam toppers! Bring your own soap though - because it is not provided.
Finally, we have to mention the backyard cat - Shamu. She is such a pleasure! She dutifully waits by the back door each morning for pets and perhaps a little treat when you take your coffee on the balcony. None of us are cat people, but by the end of the stay we’re wishing Shamu was adoptable hahah.
Pros:
- Location, location, location
- Memory foam mattress toppers on 2/3 beds
- Fully equipped kitchen
- Excellent Wi-Fi
- Great host
- Adorable outdoor cat
Cons:
- 1 of the bedrooms does not have a memory foam topper, so this is a perfect place for your European travel partner
- House could have been cleaned more thoroughly prior to our arrival
Overall, a great stay and we’d love to return someday! Thanks Dave!
