We stayed here for the middle 3 of 9 nights in Hawai’i.
The experience was phenomenal. Nick has obviously taken the time and energy to create a welcoming space.
The signage and check-in instructions were flawless. The street address was clearly marked (with an adorable boar sign) and mapped perfectly with GPS. The parking was clearly marked as well.
The location is PERFECT for a visit to Captain Cook and Kona. Close enough to the tourist spots to be convenient, yet far enough away to provide a peaceful retreat.
The view from the deck provided a wonderful sunset view in the evening and a great space to eat breakfast in the morning. We had a few gecko visitors (outside only) during our time there, which we also loved!
The outdoor shower was also a highlight. I was initially a bit apprehensive about that part, but decided to give it a try anyway. I now want an outdoor shower at home! The cottage is situated in a grove of trees and is very private. The shower had a 5+ foot wall and a 12-18” gap to see the trees around you. It’s also elevated, so feels even more private.
All the basics (plates, cups, utensils, cooking appliances, etc) we available for use. Nick was also extremely responsive to questions and messages on AirBNB, even going above and beyond to help us with some rental car troubles.
We would definitely stay again on our next trip to the Big Island.
Mahalo, Nick!
