I’ve stayed at about 50 airbnbs, and this is my favorite yet. Nani was super friendly and was constantly giving us fresh-picked fruit to try, homemade passion fruit butter, and fresh eggs. She is super knowledgeable about the island and told us how to get to a hidden turtle cove among other local tips. The rental comes with snorkels, ponchos, and many awesome extras. The place itself was spotless and spacious and had all the kitchen amenities you would need as well as a hot tub and sauna.
The location couldn’t be better. Easy drives to Hilo, Volcanoes National Park, and several beaches, and it’s in a good central location for going to any coast or mountain.
I highly recommend a stay here and will be staying here again next time I visit Hawaii!
