The Big Lenai is one of the most unique and beautiful homes that I have stayed at through Air Bnb. Shanda's attention to detail makes this home not just look wonderful but feel comfortable. The Big Lenai had several patio areas which were perfect for having coffee in the morning and viewing the botanical scenery. Shanda was above and beyond helpful; She had a wealth of knowledge about the area and provided great advice and tips about the island of Hawaii. Shanda has a helpful house manual that helped my friend and I navigate the off grid living and amenities. This home is off grid, but it never once felt like that during my stay, thanks to this manual. Shanda's place was spotless and offered several amenities that made me feel right at home. Her place even offered beach going accessories like boogie boards and snorkel masks! The artsy touches throughout the home created a warm atmosphere to relax. My friend was visiting from the mainland and continuously expressed how comfortable she felt being at the Big Lenai, for myself it was a perfect stay cation getaway from Hilo. I would highly recommend this rental to travelers, but also to anyone on the Big Island that may need to getaway for a relaxing stay cation. It was a quiet retreat with gorgeous surroundings that reminded me I will continue to call Hawaii my home. I will definitely continue to bring my visiting friends and family to this rental.
