We LOVED this house and were so grateful to have come across it on Airbnb. We felt so welcomed from the moment we opened the door. The communication from beginning to end was quick and easy. Any questions or concerns were addressed in a timely fashion - for example, one of the smoke detectors in one of the bedrooms started beeping and I messaged Nurul while we were out and he went up and changed the battery in all of them right away. It was a very clean, comfortable, homey space and the photos do not do it justice. The absolute best part was the screened-in porch with the view of the ocean and enjoying the sunset with a local brew in hand. It really took everything in us to peel us off that porch and actually explore the rest of the island.
We did not feel want of anything. Plenty of bath and beach towels, access to a washer and dryer, access to beach equipment, shampoo/conditioner/shower gel, luggage racks, we didn't do much cooking but felt the kitchen had adequate tools, Kona coffee and lots of tea options available to us, and it was so helpful to have a refrigerator with an ice machine! Do keep in mind, you are on a tropical island with wildlife in the area so if you're a light sleeper, pack earplugs because this place definitely should not be passed over.
Traveling with a baby, we wanted to be close to the airport after a long flight to get her settled quickly and be close to amenities in case we were in need of anything. We felt it was a safe space for baby to cruise around. Target, Costco, and Walmart were all close by as well as local markets and sights. All in all, it made for the perfect base camp for us to enjoy everything the Big Island has to offer. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone venturing over to Kona.
