This was by far the best airbnb we've stayed at in Hawaii, and we would be happy to go back. I can't say enough good things about it. Check in was easy, the unit is newly built, immaculately clean, stylish, and all the added touches of home (toiletries, condiments, baking and cooking items, items for children etc.). There is a washer and dryer in the unit. Pictures honestly don't do it justice. It's an amazing location to all the beaches on the west side (best ones) of the island, downtown kona, shopping, and if you're heading towards mauna kea or waipio valley, you're as close as can be from kona. Sarah and Oscar were both uber hospitable. The location is quiet making sleeping easy peasy and the slightly higher elevation makes for cool, comfortable nights sleep with windows slightly ajar. They spray for bugs routinely, and this was the first unit (apart from hotels, and many of them have them too) where I didn't see any bugs. The unit is kid friendly, and there was a play structure in front for my son to play on. There were plenty of information and travel books available, and the hosts offer car rental services as well. I'm so glad we stayed here. Thanks Sarah and Oscar!
