My wife and I spent five nights at Brent and Sylvie’s rental and it has been one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had and we travel a lot!
In the event you don’t have the patience to read the entire review, here is the most important thing: read the house manual. Yes, the whole thing. You will thank me later. Not only they lay out all the house rules, the answer any and every question you may have about where to go, what to do etc. For example, if I read the manual first, I wouldn’t have bought 3 gallons of drinking water which isn’t cheap compared to the mainland. They have a drinking water system! Just read the manual!
The house is equipped with anything you may need for your daily trips around the island: beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling equipment, fun beach toys—you name it!
The hosts provide a ton of great suggestions for places to visit. The house manual recommended a couple of beaches that had very little people and were situated on hotel or private properties- those were the beat beaches we’ve been too: white sand, dreamy water and pure luxury. Thank you for those tips!
The rental is located in the beat area of the island. You could walk to some beaches and restaurants if you wanted to. Most importantly, it is centrally located if you are like us and leave in the morning to go on a day trip to come back later at night. We were able to to go to Hilo and volcano area in the same day to comfortably come back at night.
The bed was very comfortable, they provide extra pillows if you need them. Seriously, we are coming back soon!
