I arrived looking for a quiet place to think and reflect on a few things in life, and discovered that Malia and Bernie’s home was exactly what I needed. I spent wonderful days at the beach close by which was calm enough for a very pregnant woman to enjoy, and nice peaceful evenings at the home for writing.
This Airbnb is what Airbnb was intended to be in the best way: you are a guest in their home, in which they still live everyday. They are the perfect hosts in that they are there to support you, and are very open to both chatting with you or leaving you alone depending on what kind of person you happen to be. The room and bathroom are right by the front door, so you don’t have to feel like you are bothering anyone with your comings and goings.
One thing to note is that because of COVID, there is only one restaurant open (very tasty!). So if you don’t have a car and plan to stay a few days, you should bring some food for yourself, as it can be far from supermarkets and other options. Malia was kind enough to pick up some musubi for me on her way home one day, as I was not quite as prepared as I should have been!
I had a really lovely time, and would definitely return if I can!
