I wasn’t seeking or expecting “paradise” on the big island but my wife and I found it here for sure. Truly the best AirBnB stay ever and these other reviews are not hyperbole. We stayed at four fantastic AirBnBs (and one not as great) over our 10 days on the big island but this one really stood out. We liked it so much, and the price was so agreeable for the “budget” room, that we actually stayed here a separate night despite already having a different place to stay. I’m so glad we came back to experience the sunset that night. We don’t typically sit and enjoy a view for an hour but this was one of the best parts of our trip. The clouds on the big island are miraculous and the views are so open.
+ hosts and innkeeper are giving and responsible, they take pride in what they do
+ best view from spacious lanai
+ immaculate, cozy, romantic house
+ temperature and breeze in house (in August during a hot week)
+ coquí frogs and wildlife are loud but relaxing to me
+ breakfast with coffee from farm and fresh fruit, baked goods
+ two twin size beds adjacent are perfect
+ private bathroom is clean and comfortable
+ outdoor shower is relaxing and unique
+ proximity to Kealakekua Bay snorkeling with Adventures in Paradise Kayak & Snorkel (best guided trip we did)
Note about noises: The wildlife is loud but I found it relaxing even though I don’t sleep as heavily these days. The house itself is quiet and you can hear people rummaging around upstairs a bit. We were talking loudly one morning at 6 am and were asked to quiet down. The vibe of the house is to be respectful and quiet at night which is great.
