Guy was an excellent communicator and made wonderful suggestions to guide us around the area. He was always checking in to see if everything was okay, instant replies, we felt very supported by him- even from France!
It was a great location for us to explore that side of the island and easy access to Kona town. We loved Ho’okena beach park and some amazing poké bowls just a few minutes away.
The home itself is located on a steep hill and has a steep driveway. There is a dedicated parking spot at the top but unfortunately, other neighbors won’t always mind the sign and will park in it.
The AirBNB listing photos are outdated. Furniture and bedding is not as it appears. The home needs a deep clean and we would have you consider bringing your own coffee to brew and water to drink. There was a 5 gallon water jug provided but it was nearly empty upon arrival. Given it’s COVID times, I’m sure these amenities would be different, especially since Guy’s communication was so high touch, considerate and kind!
The views off the lanai are breathtaking, stargazing at night was a dream. A mama pig graced us with her presence as she foraged for morning fruits! And the live in geckos were just a hoot to share space with. Tropical living is this!
We do believe our experience would have been completely different outside of Covid and may consider staying again because Guy was so great and the home itself had unlimited potential.
