Unfortunately for us, it was extra rainy during our stay but it didn’t stop us from enjoying our trip. This was mine and my husband’s first Air BNB so we weren’t too sure what to expect. The trip to the house is a bit of ways away but totally worth the drive. Coming in you are greeted by two of Shanda’s dogs. She encourages you to say hi to them as they are very friendly :) The house itself really gave me the authentic Hawaiian country feel. From the layout to the really cool vintage decorations she used. She leaves you with pretty much ALL the amenities you really need during a trip from pots and pans for cooking to shampoo and conditioner in the shower. I feel like the only thing we had to worry about was what sights to see for the day. She responds as soon as she can with any questions or concerns and she’s really easy to talk to. The location itself was the best part, you are literally in a jungle paradise. Away from crowds of tourists and noisy streets. I really loved falling asleep to the coqui frogs and waking up to the chickens in the distance. I really recommend this place if you really just want to take it easy and get away from city life for a bit. Best first Air BNB experience I’ve had!
