To Jymi, I am just going to copy and paste my personal review to you (did not know there were two) to everyone. It was my first AirBNB, and I could not be happier!!!
Tell Steve he was FABULOUS!!
OK Everyone. here is my time.
My trip was a bit more dire than most... My Mother and I were traveling back to Discovery Harbor to get the rest of my Dad's ashes to his requested final distribution at South Point, Hawai'i...
To find this gem of a place that was exactly how my Dad lived in Na'alehu /Discovery Harbor was the Universe telling us we were going to be OK.
I know there have been some comments on the house before me, but I was not looking for a Hilton... I was looking for someone who would open their home to me and lived the life my Dad and Mom did during their winters at Discovery Harbor. It was also closer to Disco Harbor than I had hoped for.
I am going to tell you my one complaint, that I easily fixed... Would not normally mention this, but I am making a call t greatness for all of us who want a place to be treated as family. My only complaint is that I did not find a toaster for my bagels and toast. Kinda stupid right? But my thing. So one quick trip to the Ace Hardware (really nice people work there) and $20 bucks later I had a toaster that I have gifted to the kitchen for everyone to use in the future... anyone else catching my drift? Pay it forward people!!
This house is a wonderful work in progress. If you understand that, especially at the affordable rate per day for a whole house???? You will be so thrilled with this hidden gem...
OK, so you are off the grid a bit with no internet, or satellite TV. Don't sweat it!! There is a blue ray DVD player and and HD TV!! The house comes with a very interesting collection of DVDs to watch. Not your thing, there is a RedBox over in Ocean View at Malama's grocery store?
You need internet? On Verizon I had five bars of connectivity, so quickly turned on My WiFi hotspot and had internet for everyone. Even streaming entertainment when we needed. If you need to watch you movie on a bigger screen than streaming Hulu on your iPad? make sure to take an HDMI connector with you. Easy Peasy people.
My personal addiction whilst there was to watch all of the birds in the yard. Very entertaining, and if you like your Papaya fresh? There is a very fertile tree right by the lanai. Also lili quai (I know I spelled wrong) is so sweet. The only thing you have got to do is be faster than the fauna (the birds) if you want the succulent flora (papayas and lili quai).
I already have friends who want the deets on my find!!
Jymi please continue to build!! I will definitely be coming back for two weeks of bliss!!
