Just get this place, if you are on the fence. The place is newly remodeled and awesome. And here's why:
1) Plenty of parking on premise. Did I mention-- covered parking? Yup, so your bums won't be burning when you return to your car.
2) The building itself is RIGHT AT the water front and all you have to do is walk out to appreciate the gorgeous view of Holualoa Bay. Note that, although you have direct access to the waters, the beach is not a sand beach and more of a rocky beach. If you want a sunbathing + wading in the water kind of beach, check out the Magic Sand Beach (less than a 5min drive from the airbnb) or Kua Bay (30min drive up north). Oh yea, the building has a pool and a small jacuzzi (fits 2 people) but honestly, you have the ocean right in front of you.
3) Da Poke Shack, which is attached to the building, was closed for renovation? I think?. Just fyi.
4) The location of the airbnb is really awesome in my opinion. It's a 15min drive to the main area (with all the restaurants and giftshops) and an easy access to the main highways.
5) This place has everything that you need. A VERY spacious unit with a great layout.
- The kitchen has all the appliances and utensils you will ever need-- including a LARGE fridge, dishwasher, coffee machine, blender, etc. You can cook every night if you so desire.
- The living room space comfy chairs, a large TV, and a multi-tab for all your phones and chargers.
- The king bed was super comfy & all the curtains blocks out light so you can sleep in if you want!
- There is a fully functioning A/C + multiple ceiling fans throughout the unit, which really helps with ventilation.
- A spacious balcony for you to enjoy your morning coffee. Note that the balcony looks out to the road.. so if you are a light sleeper, you may have to close the balcony doors.
- The bathroom was clean and the shower pressure was excellent.
- The best part is in unit W/D!!! It's hidden behind the barn door :) Note that the barn door does require an extra push though...
- Beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella, and a boogie board were available for use :)
6) Last but not least, Holly is a wonderful host-- very responsive and attentive. Great communications. Everything that we needed or requested was delivered.
Overall, I would reserve this place in a heartbeat, if I were to repeat this trip all over again.
