I had the best stay at Awa’s so far in my 3 weeks of visiting the islands. Upon arrival I was pleasantly greeted by the lovely host & then enjoyed a relaxing massage. Later the sounds of nature peacefully put me to sleep. Woke up at sunrise & walked across the street to sit at the bay to enjoy my morning coffee. While there I met a friendly local man who showed me where I could get into the water to snorkel (snorkel gear is available under the stairs).
After snorkeling I got hungry & visited an awesome cafe that Awa suggested. It was only a short drive away & while there during a tour I got to roast my own Kona coffee to take home. Before leaving I ordered a fresh smoothie to go. The Captain Cook Monument Trailhead is only about 10 minutes from the Airbnb & it offers spectacular views. As well as a moderate to challenging hike back up from the water’s edge.
I highly suggest Awa’s place for the nature experience, great location, & prompt communication. I will be booking again next time I visit.
