WOW, what a delight! I absolutely fell in love with "my home away from home" and Waimea. The location of Barrie's home was ideal for me, as my son was living in Honoka'a and a dear friend in Hilo. We also explored 90% of the island as our day trips and beach days were planned out and were simply lovely. One day @ Beach 69, another day to Pololu Lookout, another to Volcano National Park, Hilo/Puna, and many more! Barrie's home/Waimea was cooler in the eve and morns but wonderful to get away from the heat of the day...sleeping was truly a blessing! The Airbnb had every amenity you could think of from beach towels/chairs to a much needed "church key" after a day @ the beach! Kitchen supplies whether you just wanted coffee in the morning or cooking a full meal on the stove were abundant. I could go on and on but honestly, IT JUST A TREAT! Enjoy your stay, I can't wait to return in July 2017.
