Libby and Trudy's place was so cute. When we arrived, we liked it even better than the photos. Everything you need is provided. It was nice to have a stove to cook breakfast, and a full size fridge to store lunches and leftovers. Libby was VERY communicative and a great host. We loved all the suggestions for places to go and things to see, and we especially loved the provided snorkeling equipment, beach chairs and cooler! It was so nice to have everything we needed for our beach adventures without having to buy or rent anything. While we were there, the a/c unit in the bedroom unfortunately gave out. To her credit, when I messaged her about the issue, Libby purchased a replacement the very next day. Unfortunately, maintenance did not install it in time for us to enjoy it, but that's not Libby's fault. Finally, one small addendum to note - the sliding door on the deck does not lock. Kona is a lovely town, everyone is super nice, and we never felt unsafe in any way. We slept with all the windows open anyway, because of the temporary a/c issue. I just wanted to mention it specifically because I know for solo travelers, it's something you may want to make a note of.
For us, Libby and Trudy's place was just about perfect. If we come back to the Big Island, we would definitely stay here again :)
