I've stayed at many incredibly beautiful airbnb's over the years and I would say Emily's tops them all. The photographs cannot capture it all--waking up to so many birds singing, the soft breeze through the palm springs, the views of the ocean and the surrounding golden hills. It is a little piece of heaven.
The location was perfect for us. It is a short 10 minutes drive from the best beaches for swimming on the island (Mauna Kea and Hapuna) and 20 minutes drive from authentic, lovely Waimea where you can have an amazing breakfast at Hawaiian Surf Cafe and shop with the locals at the farmers' market twice a week. It is also away from any traffic noise or light pollution.
The self-contained guest suite is thoughtfully decorated, very clean, and it has an extremely comfortable bed. Views of the ocean greet you in the morning and throughout the day.
Emily is an excellent host. It is clear from every interaction that her and her husband care about you enjoying your stay, going out of their way to make you feel welcome, while at the same time respecting your privacy.
I wholeheartedly agree with other guests' reviews: this place is a gem. Thank you Emily for sharing it with us all!
