We are a family from Australia with an adult (19 year old) daughter and were looking for somewhere to relax and unwind for 6 weeks in a place that we hadn’t travelled to previously. Hawaii was on our bucket list and we were fortunate enough to find our perfect place in the southern part of the Big Island. We chose the Big Island for its diverse and unique scenery and multitude of places to explore over the six weeks that we were there. Carla’s home was the perfect location for us to relax, in between venturing out and exploring amazing places such as the Volcanoes National Park which was a relatively short drive away.
We can’t express our gratitude enough to Carla for hosting us at her home which was absolutely beautiful. The location was ultra quiet and only a short five minute walk down to the dramatic coastline of the Pacific Ocean where the lava flow cliffs meet the sea. Carla’s home has the most beautiful garden complete with a multitude of flowering and fruiting plants. We would relax in the lanai (alfresco) every day looking out over the fish pond and garden and be in mutual appreciation about how fortunate we were in choosing this AirBnB .
The property manager, Yvette, was extremely helpful in providing information on local attractions and was just a phone call way from answering any questions that we had. She was extremely prompt in rectifying a minor plumbing issue that occurred during our stay.
Carla’s home is an extremely comfortable two bedroom, two bathroom house with a fully fitted kitchen with quality appliances and two living areas, one at the front of the house and the other at the back. Carla has a fully stocked library of books to read and research information on the Big Island’s geography, myths and legends. We have been staying in AirBnB’s for the past ten years in Australia, UK, Europe and the USA and we have no hesitation in saying that this was the best yet.
