My husband and I fell in love with this Airbnb and the neighborhood (Captain Cook). It’s close enough to the Kona airport/ town for convenience and shops but it’s just far enough away from super touristy spots so that you can relax in gorgeous nature.
The airbnb is exactly like the photos. And the place is big, open and airy. The kitchen was stocked with delicious Hawaiian coffee and some tea. The TV has all the apps you’d want (Netflix, etc)
We loved the balcony with ocean views for coffee in the morning. And the local cat (Papaya) was so sweet and friendly. 🧡🥭
Plus, their guidebook is amazing! We did a lot of the recommendations in the digital guide and they were all fantastic.
We requested extra pillows and our hosts responded INSTANTLY. And when we came home extra pillows had arrived. They were so responsive and kind.
I recommend a 4 wheel drive to get around the island. The hosts’ Jeep was already booked (on Turo) so we rented a Wrangler. Highly recommend.
It was magical!
