My best Airbnb experience by far! Thomas was the perfect host and his place is exactly as pictured on Airbnb. I'm a bit of a germ-a-phobe, even when staying in nice hotels, but Hale Kale was truly immaculate. The hosts really took great care to think of anything a guest would need while staying on the Big Island. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, a blender, a toaster oven, a microwave, an electric kettle, a small vacuum and a small fridge. The closet provided us with plenty of room to hang our belongings and store our luggage in an organized fashion. The murphy bed was very comfortable, we slept like babies throughout our entire stay there. Next to the bed was a small desk containing very helpful guidebooks and a list of recommendations from the host himself. The bathroom was fully stocked with anything you might need, including plenty of towels, shampoo and conditioner, sunblock and disposable razors. What really stood out was the lanai with an incredible view of the ocean. It was such a treat to wake up to every morning. It was especially helpful that beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a boogie board and water noodles were there for us to use, saving us money and making our beach time even more relaxing and worry-free (if that's even possible in Hawaii.) There is no A/C but the ceiling fans, a small table fan and the breeze from outside kept us cool. We had the opportunity to meet our hosts briefly. They were very welcoming and friendly and were very quick to respond to any email communication. Staying here was like a dream. =)
