You need to stay here. Now. Seriously, book this place immediately. My husband and I had the best vacation of our lives at Morris, Yuka & Kyle's place. Why throw your money away on an over-priced, cold-hearted resort hotel when you can have a beautiful home with a warm-hearted family? The place is even nicer than the pictures. Morris and Yuka went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. They are the definition of Aloha spirit. Snorkeling and beach gear are provided. There are warm coats to visit the observatory and a video to watch before you go to the volcano; there's even a copy for you to take home. They have karaoke and toys for kids, even a playstation. We were provided with thoughtful treats and gifts but I won't spoil the surprise by listing them. Morris was there for us, whatever we needed or wanted. He provided us with shave ice, a Hawaiian treat.
We didn't find the place too noisy at all and earplugs are provided - along with a ton of other stuff. You can have as much privacy as you want but do take the time to get to know Morris, Yuka, Kyle and Puppy. You'll be glad you did. We will definitely go back to stay there. We were there for 3 1/2 weeks and it was still not long enough!!
As for AirBNB, please support them. We were supposed to go on this trip last year but I was diagnosed with cancer. Not only were we refunded all of our money, AirBNB sent a huge bouquet of fresh Hawaiian flowers along with some macadamia nuts as a get well gift. What corporation would do that?! Morris, Yuka & Kyle were very understanding as well and sent me kind emails asking how I was doing and how treatment was going. I'm glad I beat the cancer and my husband and I were thrilled to celebrate that, and our marriage, with them.
