First and foremost, we always like to compliment an awesome host because without great hosts like Paul, well, AirBnB is nothing! He truly is a fantastic host and we can see why he is a Superhost! His communication was great and he did everything he could to accommodate us as guests. Even after we checked-in, Paul generously accommodated our switch to his other room that was available (as it had an attached bathroom), and that was awesome for our stay personally. Check-in was an easy Hawaiian breeze and his home is absolutely lovely; just feels like a Hawai'i vacation from the moment you step through the gate!
The location is great and off-street parking is super convenient and easy. You can definitely walk to Magic Sands beach, and the city is probably no more than a 5-10 minute drive depending on traffic. We liked it a lot because it was convenient to visit both the south side of the island (all the way down to South Point Park - maybe a 50 minute drive) as well as the north side of the island (all the way up to Waipio Valley - also a 50 minute ride); not to mention all the great beaches in-between on that side of the island.
The home is clean and the grounds are well-kempt, and in addition to, he provides everything you'd need for a nice beach day from umbrella's and towels to boogie boards and bamboo mats!
We would undoubtedly recommend Paul and his home to anyone staying on the Big Island!
Thanks again, Paul!
