What a perfect 'home base' to do the kind of exploring on the Big Island that our little family wanted to do! Suzy was wonderful; certainly one of the best hostesses we've experienced through Airbnb. She was cheerful and accommodating throughout the entire process, from booking to checkout. She provided excellent customer service, and her kindness and conscientiousness comes through in both written and spoken word. We were grateful for her suggestions on what to do around the island, this being our first time there. The house was charming and lovely, even better than we expected. It was so comfy, and is great for kids! The backyard is huge with much opportunity for exploring. We had fun trying to identify the plants we saw on the property. We enjoyed the company of the geckos during breakfast, and fell asleep every night to a coqui frog concerto. I loved the fact that the washer/dryer is outside. Doing laundry was actually pretty fun! We didn't even turn on the TV. How can you, with a blanket of gorgeous stars outside every night? Missing the Big Island already. Thanks for everything, Suzy!
