My girlfriend and I decided to stay a few days on the Big Island after becoming fully vaccinated. It was a budget trip, and we weren't expecting to be able to afford much at all, so we were pleasantly surprised to find such an affordable rate for a 2 bedroom private unit.
The road going in is a bit bumpy, but we just took it slow and steady and it wasn't a problem. We were expecting something small without much of a greeting, but when we arrived the host Jessica was so friendly and nice and showed us around the property (we later chatted with Ryan as well and he was really helpful and friendly too). The main bedroom was quite large with many windows that look out to beautiful foliage. There was a lovely breeze and the bed was comfy. The place was clean and we felt safe from Covid in our own little universe whenever we were there.
While the bathroom wasn't directly attached to the unit, we couldn't believe how nice it was. It was newly remodeled, clean, and private. If you need extra towels, just ask.
One morning we met Baxter, a permanent tenant's little dog and he was hilarious about treats. He's getting a little chubby because I guess guests keep feeding him treats, and now the little guy wants to be everyone's best friend. Don't be intimidated if he first greets you with a few barks, once we said hello and let him sniff our hands we were friends. There were also plenty of birds to watch and we were told that sometimes wild pigs cross the property! (We didn't see any.)
This is a lovely hidden gem. We plan to come back here the next time we can afford a longer stay. Thank you so much Jessica and Ryan!
