Kaipo and Selena were the best AirBnB hosts we have ever had. We spent two nights at their house. It was not the typical touristy experience, but instead we got to learn about Hawaiian history and culture on a rural farm. The location was great for accessing volcano national park, Hilo, awesome local beaches, and Mauna Kea. The local Farmers market, in Maku’u, was the best we’ve been to on the island. If you’re lucky, Kaipo will feed you beer and supper when you arrive and banana pancakes in the morning.
The road to access the house has about 1/4 mile of bumpy unpaved road that was fine in a 2 wheel drive economy car while driving really slow. However, If you’re not used to that kind of road or if it was flooding it could be intimidating.
We would 5/5 recommend Kaipo and Selena’s AirBnB to anyone who is looking for a quiet location with the best Hosts!
