This listing is a miniature cottage hidden amongst the depths of big island. It does provide an off the grid secluded experience for those who want to try something different. However, the home felt unclean in many spaces.
In the house we found used cotton buds, used bandages from previous guests. The floor inside the house and the furniture felt grimy. Also the bed sheets in the house did not smell clean which made it unpleasant coupled with the muggy temperature.
The outdoor areas and amenities felt messy and uncared for. Unfortunately the fridge had broken the day we arrived. Bethany did communicate very clearly and apologised for this. As an alternative we were given a cooler which was not clean and were asked to take $10 off of a final tax that we were not aware we had to pay.
This was something else which we found disappointing as this was not clearly elucidated within the booking process, nor is it common place within the Airbnb booking processes.
There were mounds of garbage outside near the bins that had not been cleaned.
Overall, we were looking for a magical getaway, however were unfortunately disappointed by aspects that were not properly considered but were trying to seemingly pass as minimalist and simplistic.
