we kept the windows open the whole time; falling asleep to the frogs croaking and waking up with the birds singing and roosters calling. we had plenty of privacy, proximity to activities of interest, and very gracious and accommodating hosts. we followed some suggestions the hosts provided and snorkled at 2 step and Capt Cook's monument, both of which are fairly close to this Airbnb and known as some of the best snorkeling spots in the world. I can attest to that; I was blown away. we loved visiting the volcanoes, eating shaka tacos, hiking through Hawaii's beautiful landscape, and doing yoga on the Airbnb's private patio. wonderful trip, great place to stay, the trip of a lifetime.
