Edward and Lanessa's house is beautiful! It is a wonderful mixture of old and new - the structure dates from 1935 and has many of the amazing old fixtures still in place (the kitchen sink is quite impressive!). However, you will still find updated appliances in the space and the structure has clearly been very carefully restored and maintained. Although there is no air conditioning, there are plenty of windows and also a number of fan fixtures that make keeping the house cool a literal breeze.
The original claw-foot bathtub is also still in use as a converted shower. None of the members of our party had any difficulty getting into or out of it, but those more physically challenged may find it to be more work than expected. In a similar vein, this house is only accessible by climbing a set of stairs - this was absolutely no trouble for the members of our party and it's a very common style for homes in this part of the Big Island. Just be aware that this property may not be appropriate for you if climbing some stairs or climbing into a bathtub is not your cup of tea physically.
I used the washer and dryer in the basement during our stay, and they both performed very well. There is also a great clothes line strung out behind the carport that gets excellent morning sun that was a great help in drying out some of my items of clothing that are line-dry only. There are several beach towels available in the closet in the west bedroom too, and plenty of regular towels available too.
Edward and Lanessa live just behind the space in a separate structure, and it was easy to get in touch with them both via the Airbnb app and by strolling over and ringing the doorbell. As we were staying in winter, we were not able to take full advantage of their offer of a tour of the various fruit-bearing trees on the property, but this is highly recommended if you stay in the right season!
Overall, we all really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful space that mixes old and new so well. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a more special and out-of-the-ordinary Hawaii hospitality experience! We will definitely look to stay again if we ever return to the Big Island.
