Wow! This property is in the absolute best location on the Big Island! The bay right out front has incredible snorkeling. It’s simply stunning. The views on the wrap around deck were great, although the furniture on the deck and throughout were a bit too large for the space.
Everything was very clean. We were left 1 pillow per guest and toilet paper and even a pack and play with fresh baby sheets! There were extra towels in the linen closet. There were plenty of dishes and enough cooking utensils to make breakfast every morning. It had a dishwasher which was a bonus.
Now for the negatives, i value my time on vacation. Asking guests to not only take the trash outside to the trash can but ALL THE WAY to the transfer station seems a bit crazy. Also, asking guests to strip the beds seems normal. Asking guests to strip the bed, wash it all, and put it in the dryer before leaving is crazy. We had 7 days in Hawaii. Why are we wasting time cleaning an Airbnb that has a 500$ cleaning fee to begin with?
The rules are very strict. We were questioned after our stay about lights left on after “lights out” time because the neighbors complained about it to the host. We have 2 babies and are out pretty early. We thought we hit all the on/off switches!
All in all though, it was a wonderful stay. The host responded quickly and professionally. She was helpful when I had a hard time locating the entrance code.
I give this place five stars because I had a great stay overall.
