Let me start off by saying the phrase "A Garden of Eden in Puna" is extremely accurate. Dennis & Paul's property sits on 3 acres of land nestled about 1/4mi into a rain forest and they have done a pretty spectacular landscaping job on the property. Honestly, the beauty of the garden rivals that of the actual "Garden of Eden" that is encountered on the Road to Hana on Maui.

It is possible for me to talk about the house itself in terms of architecture, aesthetics, and amenities for some time - all in a positive way - so let me focus on the room. The room itself was as large or larger than most hotel room spaces, very well kept, well decorated, and offered at an extremely competitive price. Dennis & Paul offer a comfortable queen size bed with really nice pillows - not the traditional too hard or too soft hotel room pillows. The bathroom is also noteworthy. Not only is the shower extremely spacious, but it has a sliding glass door that leads to a spacious outside shower as well which was extremely helpful when coming back dirty/muddy from long Hikes. Honestly if I'm traveling to the Big Island I probably would not stay anywhere else unless I planned on spending a large portion of my time on the Kona side.

Finally, the experience itself was very laid back and refreshing. Dennis & Paul were well accommodating and sociable. They are quick to offer snacks or beverages to their visitors alongside casual conversation by the pool. I mean a lot more than just words when I say that they are good & genuine people. They also have 3 extremely friendly dogs! If you're traveling alone like I was or with a girlfriend/boyfriend I highly recommend giving Dennis & Paul your business. I guarantee you will not regret it! 5 stars without question on my first Airbnb experience!
