The place served as a good home base for our travels around the big island. The kitchen was well appointed with cookware and other basics. The host was very responsive when we reached out.
A few unexpected things: 1. Lack of hot water. Incredibly disappointing if you enjoy hot showers like me. We were told the solar hot water system was overtaxed while we were there. A week of lukewarm showers, but at least it was in Hawaii. 2. You need to provide all your own toiletries, and you may be responsible for your own toilet paper. Body wash, shampoo, etc is not provided. Toilet paper and hand soap are initially provided, but once that runs out you’re expected to provide your own.
Overall, it was a good experience and would consider staying here again for a short trip.
