Everything about this experience was absolutely perfect and it truly was even better than we could have imagined. From the beginning, the booking with Cody was a breeze. He responded quickly and answered all of our questions, in addition to providing amazing recommendations. When we arrived, we were met by Cody and were blown away by the beauty of the property. The pictures, although accurate, do not do it justice for just how gorgeous and peaceful the location is. You are surrounded by a lush green paradise with a waterfall view from the deck. The home was spotless, spacious, private and extremely welcoming.

The breakfast that was provided the following morning, which was Christmas morning, was delicious and thoughtful and included a huge variety of local fruits, juices and jellies from the Farmer's Market. As some of the fruits were foreign to us, Cody took the time to tell us what each one was. They made cute little Santa's out of strawberries, which I appreciated because it only further reiterated their attention to every detail to make their guests feel special and welcome. Cody chatted with us off and on during breakfast and provided amazing recommendations for our day's travel plans, all of which we ended up taking and were so happy that we did!

The home is in a fantastic location and allows you to visit the many can't-miss locations that the Big Island has to offer, including Volcanoes National Park, but also allows you to retreat to your own little paradise when you are ready. The weather for sleeping was perfect with the windows open and the fans on, which was great because it also allowed you to hear the running water from the waterfall in addition to the rain on the roof (yes, this is real!) We stayed here for two nights before heading to Kona and honestly, if we could do it again, we would stay at Cody's property for the entire trip. It was THAT great.

There is truly nothing more that we could have wanted from this experience/listing. We hope to be able to go back one day and are confident that all who stay here will have an absolutely perfect time and will enjoy the property and Cody's demeanor and thoughtfulness as much as we did. Thank you for everything, Cody. We truly cannot thank you enough. Mahalo and hope to see you again one day!
