This is not for everyone. Kathleen is very nice and accommodating and the place is beautiful, but it’s closer to glamping than staying at a BnB. If you want to be living in the rainforest in a screened in space and are ok with bugs and shared property, then this will be a great fit. But if you’re looking for privacy, or mind geckos and mosquitos in your bedroom, then this is not the place for you.
The hot tub and the outdoor shower were really wonderful, but we couldn’t use the rest of the outdoor space became the mosquitoes were so bad. It is clearly stated that this was a shared property, but we weren’t aware how closely the properties are shared. Since the space is all screened, we could hear dinner on the balcony above us, and we could see the gardener right outside our window, and as honeymooners we didn’t feel we had enough privacy.
Especially with the additional tax you have to pay in person (we’ve stayed at 3 other Hawaii AirBnBs and no one else charges it that way), this was not worth the cost.
The beach down the road is amazing for snorkeling and if you go down there early you’ll probably see some dolphins swimming within 200 ft from the shore. There is a lot of good food places in the area including coffee shack and literally the baker that is right next door to the air bnb. Delicious
