The place was perfect. In the Keaau country. By Hilo on the Big Island.
Soothed us real well for an island hop (we all reside on Oahu). The house (hale) is by a nice beach walk along an lava shaped cliffs. We loved that nature. Friendliness of the neighbors & passing by. Not too far from the Volcano nor Hilo.
Although the place has no AC. Very comfortable breeze, yes indeed !!! Plenty of ceilings fans all over. Windows you can open (with screens to prevent country bugs entry) & it is quite cool in that country. Has a gas stove too a welcoming plus
So you know if some of you are coffee drinkers (I am not) bring your own coffee. The hale has a drip coffee type & was equipped with the drip paper thingy. Also no condiments in the Hale, not even basics like oil & pepper & such. Bring your own. They have paper towels.
We stayed for 3 nights & believed that we were over paid since we experienced multiple of glitches. On our 3rd night was no hot water in showers & kitchen; no instructions on how to operate the jacuzzi jets. No timely correspondence from whomever locally managing this hale; no Kamaaina rate & it is operated by Vacasa with not one agent but multiple communicating with us at each point of question… not allowing for continuity with just 1 person, just a happenstance to whom ever checks the Airbnb correspondence each time. Place had hidden costs and taxes. Cleaning fee of almost $600 for the 3 nights. Overall score is 8. Forgot to mention that the hale is so specious.
