I don’t know how to prepare you for what could be the most wonderful big island vacation ever! Chiya lives near Hawi, a small picturesque village on the north end of the island. Her guest home is amazing with incredible views of the pacific coast and the architecture of the house is Frank Lloyd Wright quality as Chiya and her father are furniture and cabinet wood working professionals. Although her father is no longer with her the woodworking in the home is an incredible testament to their craft. The handcrafted wooden doors are unbelivable! A beautiful private garden for relaxation and great hikes throughout the neighborhood guided by Chiya. She brings gifts of fresh fruit growing in her yard and has a 40 foot avocado tree that makes the best guacamole! Her knowledge of the area is extensive as she is a homegrown Hawi native thus an exceptional tour guide. I’ve done many Airbnb experiences throughout the world but Chiya was the most gracious host I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. Do yourself a favor and book what could be the best big island vacation ever!!!
