Four of us just checked into an airbnb on Maui** and it makes us really appreciate the little extras that Steve's place had, including,
1) A welcome basket of treats
2) 4 beach towels
3) Rice cooker
4) basically 3 complete snorkel sets
5) laundry facilities IN the apartment and detergent
6) A fridge containing condiments for cooking (plus spices).
**Our current place comes with one (one?!) snorkel set, an empty fridge, 2 beach towels, and none of the other items mentioned above.
Of course, this place is a 5 min walk from "downtown" Kona, has a great view of pacific and sunsets, easy parking, and makes a great base for exploring the island or just hanging out. The balcony overlooks the pool which is mostly a positive, however, some evenings, depending on the crowd, the pool can get quite boisterous. However, I would stay again and still give it 5 stars.
