Rosa and Karl achieved the perfect balance between luxury and an authentic Hawaiian experience. This is by and far the best AirBnb we have stayed at (and we do many!). First, the accommodations are beautiful and you feel like you are staying in a luxurious villa in the middle of the island. No detail was overlooked and Rosa equipped the rental with high end touches that truly made this stay magical for us. There was a kitchen fully stocked with organic spices and oils, a vitamix blender, coffee and French press. Bathrooms had a full set of Hawaiian toiletries and towels were abundant. I had amazing sleep on their comfortable beds, even sharing with two kids. A few favorite things: The front lanai was perfect for getting a workout in (amazed to find there were yoga mats in the closet) or reading a book. We loved having breakfasts in the back every morning, surrounded by all the trees. There is a swing made out of bamboo that was so fun, for both adults and kids. The location is really central - we explored many beaches and Paia was a 7 minute drive away. Waterfalls and hikes were 12 minutes in the other direction. Rosa and Karl are incredible hosts and live on the property, they will engage with you as much/little as you like. But I recommend you do because they are one of the loveliest people we've met and made our vacation so magical. We had an amazing vacation in Maui but our kids always say Karl and Rosa was one of their favorite memories.
