Kris's place is the best Airbnb I have ever been so far! It is a multi-acre property, which is absolutely beautiful and well maintained, with coffee trees and flowers, and with wild turkeys and wild Hawaiian birds visiting this place every day. Built in the middle of the property, the house is very spacious, modern and sparkling clean. We stayed on the 1st floor, which has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a lanai. The lanai is HUGE and has a great view. On clear nights we watched the stars from the lanai!
The location of this place is on the hill and is a little bit of drive from downtown Kona (~15 min). The view from the hill is INCREDIBLE! The location is also very tranquil and safe.
We met Kris and Joshua on the evening we arrived. They were extremely friendly, interesting and knowledgeable. They showed us around the house, gave us travel tips, and showed us the travel guidebooks that they prepared for the guests. Before starting this Airbnb, they traveled around the globe for a year, stayed at many different Airbnbs, and then tried to build their place into the best Airbnb. They have surely succeeded!
The place is stocked with bath towels, cooking supplies, dishwasher, microwave ... everything we needed, so we need to bring nothing. Kris also prepared some great Kona coffee beans for us to try. They also lent us their snorkels and swim fins. Knowing that my parents were flying back to China (where the coronavirus is still spreading) and that we could not find facial masks on the Big Island (they are all sold out), Kris even gave us the facial masks they have left. Big thanks to Kris!
To stay here was the best decision made in our Hawaii trip. Hoping we can stay here again next time!
