Matthew and Rose’s place is fantastic. The location is unbeatable. Conveniently close to Hawi, Hamakua, and Kona , and right on the cusp between wet, cool Waimea and the hot, dry desert climate of the “ Gold Coast” which is home to the best white sand beaches on the Island. The temperature at Shambala was not too hot and not too cold, not too buggy and just right! The cottage was super clean and beautiful and contained everything we needed for trips to the beach and cooking at home. The bed was extremely comfortable.The outdoor shower was divine as was the clear starry sky and the fresh fruit growing in the gorgeous garden that was ours for the picking. Matthew and Rose were friendly and helpful without ever being invasive. We felt welcome and right at home. Truly my best experience with Airbnb to date.
