Aloha! My name is Maria, and I’m currently hosting a beautiful townhome in Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i. When I’m not on the island, I live in Evergreen, Colorado. Excited to be here—Mahalo for having me! 🌺🌴

Aloha @Maria24451! 

Your townhome in Kailua-Kona sounds amazing!  It’s wonderful to have hosts from all over, and it’s so lovely that you split your time between Hawai‘i and Colorado. 

How has starting out out as a new host been for you? 😊

@Quincy 

It's been pretty good.  Excited for things to take off! We're in a perfect location so all should be good. 

[Quincy]

@Maria24451 that’s great to hear! It sounds like you’re off to a promising start! Are you expecting any guests soon? 😊 

[Maria24451]

@Quincy Yes, we have already booked 11 on Airbnb and 3 on Vrbo (more of a challenge).  All is good.  Had a cancellation for December last week 😞 hopefully we will book some December dates.

@Maria24451 Wow, that’s fantastic! Glad to hear that you have so many bookings already! 🎉 Sorry to hear about the December cancellation🙁 Fingers crossed that new guests will snap up those dates soon!
