My family & I have been residing on the Big Island for a few years & wanted a vacation away from home, yet not having to leave the island. We came across Thomas listing on Airbnb & fell in love with it right away. Thomas answered all of my questions before booking the place so I could book with confidence. Then our check-in day came & Thomas let my family & I checked in early. Even tho we stay a few minutes from the apartment, we went there staright away once Thomas said we could check-in already. His check-in instructions were easy & understanding. Once we got to the apartment, my family was surprised with the place. Everything we needed was right there & we didn't need to go home to get something. The place was really clean & I loved how it was a full kitchen. I love to cook, so all I needed to bring was the food & no pots or pans. The A/C thru out the unit helped us cooled down on hot afternoons. Or just using the fan & opening the sliding door was cool enough. I could smell the ocean when night came which I loved. Everyday we were there, we went down to the pool to swim. There wasn't much people there at the apartment area (maybe due to the pandemic) so it was quite. The bed was so comfortable, we sometimes slept in during the morning. The living area was a cute space to relax & have family time. Lots of parking too which made it easy to park near the elevator & head to the room. I also loved how they had trollys to help bring our stuff to the room & back to our car. Also, if I had a question during our stay about the apartment, Thomas was fast to get back to me. My family & I was sad to leave the day of our check-out. Our next vacation we would definitely book with Thomas again.
