The hidden gem of Big Island - the first thing which comes to my mind when I'm thinking about Myra's Blue Hawaii House! We stayed here for almost 2 weeks and we really enjoyed every single second of living there! First of all, this house is extremely spacious - with lots of room in the living area and incredibly huge lanai (where you can do yoga, workouts, have breakfasts/lunches/dinners, enjoy the sunsets and stargazing the sky with an included telescope). There are two parking spots under the house and fenced roomy backyard with beautiful aloes, succulents, macadamia nut trees, and plumerias! Lots of plants around the house and birds' singing make you feel cozy and private like you're staying somewhere in the jungles! Secondly, the house is in great condition - it is sparkling clean and neat, has a lot of staff, which might help you to explore the island (snorkeling gear, boogie board, foam pool noodles, sunscreens and etc.) and even perform some quick fix to your own gear (there are regular tools like screwdriver set, super glue, threads and needles, vacuum cleaner, steamer and etc.) You will enjoy comfortable wicker TV set furniture and electric fireplace under 65" display with Netflix! In case if you need to print out you reservation/booking or anything else there is a printer for you! Wow, never seen such a "full house" equipment! Thirdly, the kitchen has to be mentioned separately, because it is amazing! Lots of pans/pots, different kinds of dishes and types of glasses, silverware, bamboo sticks, toaster, coffee machine with a set of capsules of different tastes, green/black tea bags (that was a real surprise), brand new appliances (big fridge, microwave, stove, sink), blender, rice cooker, sharp knife set and etc. Fourthly, bedrooms are just awesome with super comfortable beds and extra tender linens. Usually, we need 8-9 hours to recharge, but here we did sleep for 7 hours and felt cheerful and energetic all day long. Btw, the crossroad nearby won't bother you, first, because the cars there are pretty rare, and secondly, because of sound insulation is above and beyond in the house itself. The house can accommodate up to 6 people (I think two more could sleep on the lanai :))), but I and my wife lived here alone and felt almost like a locals. Master bedroom is facing the ocean, the guest bedroom is facing the backyard. Another one place to sleep is a sleeper sofa in the living room in front of the TV. It might be getting cold at night, but hosts had thoughtfully provided DeLonghi heaters and heating fireplace. The house is equally remote from Kona and Hilo (about 1.5 hours of driving), but staying here you can definitely check out Papakōlea Green Sand Beach (5.8 miles hike), South Point Heiau (no diving anymore), Pōhue Beach (4x4 only), Punalu'u Bake Shop (great malasadas) and closest beaches with easy water access: Miloli'i Beach Park and Pebbles Beach. The road to the Volcano park will take about 1 hour, but it is almost straight and has no traffic at all. Overall, this is one of the best places we've ever stayed in our Airbnb experience and we will highly recommend Myra's Blue Hawaii House to anyone who wants to feel Aloha spirit and enjoy their stay on the Big Island! Once we get back to the Island we'll definitely stay here again! Thanks, Myra and Dan for such a great opportunity to live in your beautiful house! Maria & Vasily.
