I was already excited about this house, what with the friendly animals, big porch, and sunset views, but it was all that and more. This was probably the most well-appointed AirBnB we've ever stayed in - it has all the usual things most have like shampoo/conditioner as well as condiments leftover from other guests, but it also had the best kitchen equipment we've seen, comfortable beds and couches, and lots of games. It was more like staying with a cool relative with good taste vs staying in a rental unit - it felt like a home.
Highly recommend grabbing a few days worth of groceries and enjoying your time relaxing on the lanai to the sounds of the birds and frogs and watching the gorgeous ocean and sunset views. Located 1h from the airport, 1h from Volcanoes National Park, and 25min from Two Step (probably the best snorkel spot on the big island), it was well situated and in the most peaceful setting. Joe was great to chat with but respectful of our space and answered all of our questions about the area. Highly, highly recommend booking several days at this comfortable home with beautiful views!
