As all the other reviews have stated... JUST WOW!!! Everything about this place, and the host Steve screams 5 stars and 10/10 and he is just getting started!
As amazing as the house itself was, I am going to start with just how awesome and amazing Steve is as a Host! I have traveled a lot in my time, and Steve was the BEST host I have every interacted with. From the first step of our journey Steve was very communicative, always willing to help with the changes I had to make to the booking as we solidified our travel plans. He is knowledgeable, extremely helpful, responsive, prompt, caring and kind! He is a great soul, and always willing to help! Part of the reason I can't wait to get back is because of just how awesome of a human Steve is and great to interact and talk with.
The house..... COME ON! It is really paradise on the big island! It is the most well put together, well stoked, spacious, and beautiful AirBnB i have ever stayed in! We had a travel party of 11, 6 adults and 5 kids that were 4 and under! We had so much space and never felt like we were crowded due to the amazing set up the house has to offer! And Steve was so great about the fact the kids were basically running laps around the deck from dusk until dawn!
The rooms are spacious and have great bedding! The kitchen is fantastic and the outdoor living room/breakfast bar is where you will spend ALL of your time! Views for miles and sunsets that leave you breathless! The bathrooms are amazing as well! And the whole place is set up to be very conservative on water, which is a HUGE bonus!
The location of the house was absolutely perfect for us and what we wanted out of our rental in Hawaii. It is far from Kona (90 min) and Hilo (2 hrs), but was also closer to the Volcano National Park (80 min) and within 40 min of a TON of great "local" beaches. It was worth the extra driving to be able to come home, and relax in such a serine environment!
I could go on and on about how great our stay of 10 days was in Steve's place, but instead I will just tell you that if you are looking for a place on the Big Island that is off the beaten path of the tourists centered locations, that provides peaceful and tranquil setting in an "old Hawaii" village, then don't wait a second longer and BOOK THIS PLACE NOW....before the word really gets our and he is booked a year in advance!
I can't thank Steve enough for making our trip to Hawaii nothing short of MAGICAL! It is one all of us, even the kids, will remember for a lifetime!
