This home is gorgeous. The common area is far larger than expected by looking at the photos, with high ceilings and an amazing layout. The way that the space is set up folks can gather in several different leisure areas.
The grounds are maintained beautifully and are immaculate, as were the main and guest houses. The team who keep the grounds and clean the place, Pat and Doris, are meticulous in their work and you can tell. If you get a chance to meet them please thank them for their amazing work. It was by far the cleanest and best kept Air BnB we've ever stayed in. And much cleaner and nicer than most hotels we've stayed in too, aside from maybe a Ritz Carlton or something of that caliber, but pretty darn close.
Laura and Aki have thought of everything at their home, and share it with AirBnB guests. There were plenty of things for a day at the beach: lots of towels, several small and medium coolers, sand umbrella and shade tent, beach chairs, snorkel gear, floaties and even some to-go containers if one wanted to take a beverage out into the sun. There are plenty of toys and games at the house including board games like taboo and yard games including croquet and balls for tossing around.
The best thing about this place though, is the property and home itself. Beautifully designed, comfortable, and roomy enough for a group of folks to recreate and spend time alone. Just far enough out of the way to be a wonderful retreat, but a short trip to Hilo or Pahoa. Thanks to Laura and Aki for sharing their home.
