A journey to paradise. Really this must be the most beautiful Airbnb home in which I have stayed.
House: outdoor and indoor spaces fluidly connected with many sliding doors allow the cooling breezes to run through the whole house. The Balinese-inspired décor creates a harmonious setting with lovely art optimally displayed with outstanding lighting. Well stocked kitchen with all appliances and cooking needs you are likely to want. Great bathrooms (esp. the master BR shower!) and luxurious bedding.
Grounds: Comfortable covered terrace (lanai) where you are likely to spend most of your time (watching the birds and eating Huna Farm's own macadamia nuts). View out to the sea, though a bit hazy when we were there from residual vog from Kilauea. Beautiful infinity pool (saltwater) great for taking a dip to cool off at mid day. The house looks over the small, eponymous farm. You can go down and pick your own macadamias, though Tim provided us with a big bowl that kept us for our full stay. There are also lime and mango trees.
Location: Being up in the green foothills, the temperatures are quite mild in the day and cool at night. A lovely retreat from the sometimes oppressive heat down by the water. The drive down into Kailua-Kona is only about 10 min and there are plenty of services there (groceries, restaurants, a Walmart, etc.).
Hospitality: Tim is a gracious host who provided a warm welcome. Showing us around the property, helping us understand the amenities and greeting us with a chilled bottle of wine and copious snacks. He was very available to answer questions and to give advice on activities and services in the area.
Overall a truly fantastic stay!
