The hut itself is charming amongst the tropical plants. The walls are half glass, half netting, which also means there is essentially NO privacy. There should be blinds because the place is completely transparent. The listing mentions a backyard, but it’s more of a front yard, right on a drive, used by the old man living on property, not too “private.” The patio of the bnb is about 20 ft from this driveway and the main house is a stones throw up the drive. In fact, you can see his house from everywhere in the hut, including the shower…the shower is outside but the foliage is not thick enough to provide 100% coverage on the side facing his house. You can even see his house from the toilet, where a thin piece of nylon acts as a curtain on the top half, but why not use wood to cover that entire wall? I found it odd that part of the bathroom was exposed, since the toilet is technically outside too / doesn’t need a piece of wall missing for ventilation purposes. The main house is 2 floors, and it’s position up the hill almost feels like it’s purpose is to overlook the bnb that does not have blinds / curtains. The host Amalia and Kyle are not the people greeting you. Instead it is this older man, he rolled up in his truck, while we were changing, rendering us naked in this see-through hut. He said we could text him instead of messaging through the Airbnb app, but note there is almost no cell reception at the location. We tried using the Airbnb app months in advance of our stay to extend our reservation by a couple days, but never received a response from the host (not sure who manages the online account, if it’s the man or the couple in the Airbnb profile pic). One of the first things the man said to us was “you’re here for a while,” as if we were imposing (perhaps why he didn’t want to extend our stay even though the calendar showed they had availability?). He then went on to list all the house rules, that are printed out in a binder as well. He mentioned that since they are off the grid, he doesn’t allow curling irons, blow dryers, etc. and doesn’t have enough power to heat to the shower after a certain time of night (aka no hot showers after 8pm). The amenities include a “lockbox,” but I did not see such, and the hut itself does not have locks on the doors. As other reviews mentioned, the bed is NOT in the least bit comfortable and slightly smelled of mildew. The extra blankets smelled like they hadn’t been washed in months. We did vacation in off-season, so understand there is more rain this time of year. Given the location on east side of island, rain is constant so humidity is expected, but wish bedding smelled of linen. When it was really stormy, the rain came down on the roof pretty hard, so loud. The road to the bnb is a really beautiful drive. The unpaved stretch doesn’t need 4W or high clearance vehicle, flat / easy, minimal rocks, no potholes. It’s about an hour to Hilo or Volcano NP. Great bird watching from the patio! The coqui frogs take some getting used to at night. The roosters cocka doodle doo whenever they want night & morn.
