It is difficult to add to the outstanding Airbnb overview description and reviews, both of which are 100% accurate. It is challenging to put into words how amazing this experience was (and that says a lot since we live in beautiful San Diego). The bottom line is just book it and you will not be disappointed!
Exceptional hosts - Jeanette and Andrew go out of their way to ensure we had the best experience. The townhome is spotless, you have it all to yourselves - they literally live on the second floor with the door closed and most of the time you would never know there is anybody else in the home. However, they are always available for questions/suggestions. You basically have your private concierge and travel advisor. Even with all the Big Island info in books and on the internet we basically did what Andrew and Jeanette suggested and it was amazing. If there is one thing we regret it is not getting to spend more time with Jeanette and Andrew (we were very active and on the move often during our 5 day stay).
Perfect amenities - Breakfast was amazing and they had all the gear (beach towels, snorkels/fins, beach chairs, umbrella, coolers, boogie boards, noodles, etc.) that we needed to enjoy the amazing beach club (private beach club only accessible by Mauna Lani residents with full bar/restaurant, free cabanas and beach chairs and the most beautiful blue/green water excellent for snorkeling and seeing hundreds of tropical fish every time).
Prime location - close to everything on the island and easy to get to the east side (Volcano and Hilo). Andrew draws the best maps which makes navigation easy.
Overall, our experience was above and beyond our expectations and we are extremely thankful and lucky we met Jeanette and Andrew. This was our first Airbnb experience and is unlikely we could do another because the bar was set so high by Jeanette and Andrew. Have not stopped talking about it and can't wait to go back!
