What can I say? This is a magical place. If you're looking for a peaceful and quiet hideaway, this is it! The Airbnb is beautiful and is very well equipped for your stay (snorkeling gears, bbq grill + coals, kitchen appliances, beach umbrella, cooler, etc). We'll definitely come back!
Our host, Kat is super sweet, helpful, and responsive. We couldn't find a rental car so she helped to contact a local guy to drive us around. A few tips if you choose to stay here:
1. Make sure your airport is in Hilo and NOT Kona! Otherwise, you'll have to spend around $350 for a taxi and it'll take you around 2.5 hours to get here.
2. Get a rental car. If you can't, google JB's Taxi & ask for Joe. It'll be a bit pricey, but definitely cheaper than other options I found. If you go with a big group, it's not bad at all. Joe is super nice and gives us great recommendations, too!
3. Wifi is slow if you stay with a large group. But like I said above, this place is so beautiful that you don't need to look at the screen anyway. (My screen time was down by 50%)
4. Make sure to check out Kehena Beach. Clothing is optional so don't be shocked and enjoy the freedom!
5. Check out the drum circle near Kehena Beach every Sunday from 4-5 pm. The community gathers, plays music, and dances.
