When we saw this place on Airbnb, we immediately thought it was perfect for us. Our experience was even better than expected. The place is less then 15 minute drive from the shopping and restaurants in Kona and is Central to many different sites you will likely want to visit. The patio is right on top of the ocean and we spent every morning and evening enjoying the view of sea turtles, fish, birds, dolphins (saw all of those at some time during the trip). Also worth mentioning that we spent one late evening star gazing from the patio and saw many shooting stars and an amazing amount of stars against a very black sky (was after moon set). We took advantage of being steps away from magic sands beach before or after some of our longer excursions. The sand there is soft and if you are adventurous, the surf can be a lot of fun (be careful!). The host even provides beach gear such as chairs and umbrellas which was a nice surprise. Fully stocked kitchen is very helpful and we took full advantage. Hope to come back in the future!
