Super nice host. Anyone renting will enjoy talking with Toby. Toby has lived in Hawaii his entire life and offers a plethora of information, insight and recommendations.
Our family stayed the last week of June and entire month of July 2021. Staying this long, you get to know the house and Kona area pretty well. Our group consisted of adults, boys and a puppy. Due to COVID, the adults worked remotely most of our stay.
Our boys are in the Boy Scouts and this place was affectionately called "Camp Kona" after the first night. The view from the 2nd floor was incredibly beautiful, and the living room offered an open concept design and historic Hawaiian vibe. Toby built a bench for the workout equipment (being a nice host and since the posted photos were outdated) and setup a badminton net the backyard a couple of weeks into our stay. The backyard was secure such that our puppy enjoying safely roaming the entire yard. The internet was fast enough to support all of us simultaneously, along with video conference calls for the adults. No cable television as a standard offering, only internet options (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.).
The elevation of the home is ~900 ft above sea level. At this level, the home stays relatively cool (no significant need for air conditioning, fans are sufficient) with gentle afternoon or evening rain showers. The gentle showers were enjoyed by everyone in the group. There are fruit trees that provided fresh fruit that Toby and Chelsea kindly offered after their pickings.
Overall, we had a very nice "Camp Kona" stay at Toby's place.
