Lorelle is such a great host!! She knows a ton about local spots and secrets, and the house is always lively with her lovable and friendly dogs, cats, birds, geckos, and chickens! It is a very close drive to Kailua-Kona town, Costco, the airport, and the cloud forest and Kona coffee farms, which we found very convenient. There is also an amazing view of the ocean from the Airbnb, so sunrises and sunsets are spectacular. It is also ~100 miles from the Volcano side of the island, so if you are worried about the eruptions or air quality -- don't! We were there during the latest volcanic activity and couldn't even tell anything was wrong other than from the news. There is so much to do on the Big Island besides the volcanoes, and spending it at Lorelle's was an awesome time :)!
