There are so many options of Airbnbs on the Big Island but I'm very very glad I went with Donna's. Many of the places you'll find are just run by companies who just manage several homes like a hotel, but Donna is a real person that will take the time of day to read your messages and take care of her guests. Our flight was late at night and luckily there wasn't going to be a guest the next day so Donna let us stay and enjoy the amenities until then. That's what's good about dealing with a real person instead of a faceless company because they won't just be hard on the rules of checking out at 11am.
Other than that, there were a lot of nice personal touches in the home that went a long way. For example, there were SO MANY FANS. At LEAST one in every room, even in the closet. Also A/C in the bedroom and living room/kitchen were key. The kitchen was also well equipped and we were able to cook a lot of our own meals using Hawaii's awesome grocery stores. Bed is also very comfy with lots of extra pillows. The balcony looks out to the ocean and the tropical landscape. Lots of little birds come by when you're having your breakfast out there.
Donna's home is walking distance, or very short driving distance to a lot of major tourist spots in Kona. The nature stuff is farther out because, well, the Big Island is quite literally a big island. We had no idea how long it would take to get from place to place but that's why it's good to have a nice home base after a tiresome day.
