We have been using AirBnB for many years and never have we stayed at one so well-appointed!
Ben and Kylie have literally thought of everything!
I would suggest, if your schedule allows, to check out the place before you go buy tons of supplies. We came WAY over-prepared and ending up leaving items behind in order to "pay it forward". Hilo is about 40 minutes from the house which has both a Walmart and Target.
Things we appreciated most that we didn't think we would need:
1. Air popcorn machine (Loved it!)
2. Tea maker/toaster oven
3. Dehumidifier
4. Convenient space heater (multiple)
5. Tons of games! For everyone. Indoor and outdoor!
6. Umbrellas (it will rain)
7. Cooler
Suggestions?
Bring fuzzy socks/slippers for walking around the house. It can be chilly some nights. Also, there were multiple space heaters that we absolutely loved and tons of blankets for snuggling on the couch.
Bring some light robes for getting in and out of the hot tub at night. If that's not practical, there are plenty of towels.
Lol. If you're completely ignorant about hot tubs (like us), Ben will answer any questions you have and fast! We learned a few tricks. 😁
We have every intention of coming back and I can't imagine having to stay anywhere else. Otherwise, they have some big shoes to fill.
Did I mention the ambiance? Oh, the ambiance!
Great job!
Mahalo!
