Great appreciation to Todd (and his second in command, Zachary) who allowed us to stay at and enjoy this AirBnB "Oceanfront Delight" private room with Feng Shui lanai during February 5-12, 2022.
Todd is a caring and helpful soul. Smart and resourceful. Wise!
In fairness to the those seeking insight for comparable selections across the AirBnB community, I must disclose that this unit is extraordinary - yet different from a typical AirBnB property. Not wrong, just different. Please read further and allow me to explain - not complain.
Todd has housemates, plus other guests that live in camper-like accommodations on his property. Maybe 5-6 total (7 including us). All are polite and respectful. Plus a few fat chickens. The front driveway and yard are cluttered. During our stay the house doors (front, side and back) were always wide open - day and night. The kitchen is common for all. No television. The AirBnB private room is small, with no closet, barely space for two suitcases, and wired for electricity with merely extension cords. The room's door is equipped with a keycode lock. Included is a private bathroom with toilet, sink and shower located down the hallway.
This special house, constructed in the 1950s before Hawaii was granted statehood, is located on the beach side of Kailua-Kona's prestigious Ali'i Drive, along the ocean rocks between Lymans surf spot and Banyans surf spot. The cool ocean breeze and the sound of waves crashing on the lava rocks will pass through your room window day and night. The lanai (rear covered patio facing the ocean) is common for all - and you'll love it - the highlight of our stay. Settle into a comfortable seat on the lanai looking out at the ocean with surfers on both sides of your view, often including whales, dolphins or turtles straight ahead, plus the cool breeze on your face & skin, and you'll become hypnotized into sensory Hawaii relaxation. You will want to just stay on this lanai for the Feng Shui recharge. Really amazing!
This AirBnB unit is conveniently located near everything along the west coast of Hawaii.
Our belongings were safe and secure.
All went well. Positive feedback!
Shared with Todd (& Zachary) several aerial camera (drone) photos I captured from high in the air over this house and beach.
Mahalo nui loa for allowing us to stay at your extraordinary property.
'Hope to cross your path again down the road...!
