Cottage is super cute and was easy to find with the instructions given. Beautiful view of the ocean from the room. Had everything we needed. Indoor mini fridge, toaster oven, some REALLY good Hawaiin coffee with an electric kettle and French press. Outdoor kitchen. All fresh air and we LOVED IT. It rained both nights so we got to listen to the sounds of nature and the rain on the metal roof, which is exactly the sort of experience we wanted.
It’s a great location for the Hilo side of the island. You’re pretty close to everything but get that immersive Hawaiin feel. A lot of other AirBnBs on that side of the island are in neighborhoods, which isn't nearly as awesome as this unit on a farm with an ocean view.
They left freshly picked fruit out for us like some delicious bananas and the absolute largest tastiest avocado we’ve ever had! It was so big we didn’t even realize it was an avocado. Peeled it like a banana. Wish we could have taken some back to the mainland but it’s not legal. We don’t get avocados like this in Texas.
Super fast communication.
The shower is borderline unusable though. It has 2 temps, too hot and too cold so you gotta shower during the transition.
