I highly recommend staying at this AirBnB! Doug and his wife were the best hosts. They live right on the property and went above and beyond to make sure our stay in Hawaii was as enjoyable as possible.
Their property has a wide variety of flowers and fruit trees, and they are more than happy to give you a tour of their garden. The house was well equipped with all the basic amenities someone would need such as plates, cups, utensils, etc. You even have access to a propane bbq grill if you would like to have a bbq.
The outdoor shower and the whole aesthetic of the house is peaceful and calming, helping you feel right at home with nature. Also, the WiFi is very fast and reliable in case you need to conduct business meetings or do online classes while you’re there.
The only drawback is that there is no lock on the house for when you leave. But, we never had a problem with security and felt very safe throughout our stay there so we didn't worry too much. Also because their house is located on the south side of Big Island, traveling to Kona (West) or Hilo (East) usually takes upwards of 1.5 hours driving one-way. Getting to the northern part of the island takes upwards of about 2.5 hours driving one-way. So you have to take that into consideration when making your plans. We didn’t mind the drive so this location was perfect for us.
OVERALL: This is the perfect Airbnb if you don’t mind doing a bit of driving to get to your destinations.
