After some unsuccessful attempts of securing an AirBnB in Kona with other hosts, we opted for a short drive and to be away from the touristy area. Mahalo to William for letting us book on such short notice and Jessica who was so friendly and helpful in setting us up. Check-in was fast and easy. The room was spacious, pretty clean, and having a kitchen was clutch since eateries in the area close relatively early. Great location--the store and some restaurants are a 2-minute drive mauka (towards the mountain); 10 minutes makai (towards the ocean) will get you to the resorts and beach. The kids loved the pool area; on site activities; and seeing the wildlife (wild goats roam that area; some turkeys were walking around on property--this is normal for Waikoloa). I also love that there were so many locals staying here. My family and I look forward to staying here again in the near future. MAHALO!
