This place is fantastic. We stayed for about three weeks. It's near a lot of beaches on the west coast. Some are very close, but our favorites were about half an hour north and not obvious to find: Makalawena beach (park at the gate off the highway and walk a mile or so down the road or drive if your car can handle it, then walk another mile or so to the last beach) and Kukio beach (you have to ask a guard at a resort for access, but it's public and they should let you in). These are not crowded at all, have beautiful sand, and are great for swimming and snorkeling. It's also near a few neat hikes (go see where Captain James Cook died, and you can snorkel at the bottom), historical parks (Pu'uhonua O Honaunau was our favorite of all on the west coast; Lapakahi, the northernmost one, was our second favorite and a beautiful drive to get there), botanical gardens (recommend Paleaku Gardens), and all the coffee farms you want to visit (Greenwell Farms was great). There are a lot of good restaurants nearby, tons of thrift stores, a cute community theater, downtown Kona is only 15 minutes away, and on and on. We were never bored.
Back to the house...There is a full kitchen with essentials and nearby grocery stores. Fruit trees near the house drop avocados, lemons, and probably other stuff we didn't see. The second story bedroom is comfortable and the bed is awesome. Fast wifi, good TV, a couple fans and windows for breeze. It never got too hot. The lanai with the view down to the ocean is so cool. I spent a lot of time there reading and taking it all in.
You'll have other people on the property. There is another Airbnb sort of adjacent/connected, someone else who lives across the yard, and another couple houses. Everyone was nice, quiet, and it still felt fairly private. The person across the yard has a very cute small dog who will accept all the attention you are willing to give it. You will likely see people going to and from the bathrooms across the yard. The bathroom was nice, but time your showers around other people showering so you don't have a cold one. You do have to walk across the yard to it (watch out for dog poop, especially at night), but there is an umbrella for when it's raining and flashlights for when it's dark. There are also other animals in the area, which was a plus for us. Chickens and roosters start up in the morning, we saw a couple cats around, there is currently a family of pigs that we saw running up and down the road and in the field across the street, lots of birds, and so on.
What else...there is snorkeling gear provided, which was an awesome perk, as well as some towels, sunscreen, and bug spray. There's a small collection of books in the room, and I used the Lonely Planet guide to find some stuff to do and learn about the area. The road to the house is indeed pothole-y and can get muddy. We rented a Nissan Sentra and it did an admirable job. It was a little nerve-wracking at first, but you get used to it. I would not recommend taking a regular car down the Makalawena beach road (we did once, felt like we were destroying the car, and walked the other times), but a regular car is fine for this road! There's plenty to keep you busy. We put 1500 miles on the car in three weeks going all over the island. I would 100% recommend this place and would love to return some day!
