My family (husband and 2 boys ages 5 and 7) and I escaped the -20* weather in Alaska and enjoyed an AWESOME time at Suzanne's place for 2 full weeks in January 2020.
Cleanliness- I myself am a cleaning maid for a friends Airbnb here in Alaska, so I know what expectations a place should have upon arrival. It was VERY CLEAN! It is decorated enough to have subtle Hawaiian style but does not give off the feeling of cluttered and leaves plenty of room for your own luggage. The cleaning lady gets 5 stars on her work in between visitors!
Location- AWESOME! It is sitting right in front of a golf course and has plenty of space for our boys to run around, stretch their legs and catch gecko's. It is perfect distance to local shopping stores for quick groceries. Perfect distance from downtown Kona. Its just a short drive, yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Quick drive to a great church we visited, Kona Baptist Church. Kamakana Playground is just past the church and a MUST SEE for families with kids!
Amenities- GREAT! Pool is clean and perfect for the end of day. The house was stocked with all sizes of pots and pans and cooking ware. Lots of shampoo, hair products, soaps, aloe vera and other bathroom products you might have forgotten. Porch also has a cabinet full of boogie boards, beach umbrella, snorkel gear of various sizes. PERFECT! Inside there are quite a few game for families to enjoy in the evening on the book shelf.
Hospitality- Suzanne is super speedy in her replies and very sweet and personable. She was a great host and the property management on site were VERY friendly as well.
We loved this place and hope to be back next year!
