Really enjoyed my time! Overall I am so happy I went and feel like I couldn’t have choose a better Airbnb. I made so many new friends and really felt super safe which was the most important to me. I would recommend this to any of my friends. I was a solo traveler and it was perfect amount of space for me.
Raven, you’ve done amazing with this location and I can’t wait to be back.
Pros
- great location, walking distance to essentials like grocery store, food trucks, cvs, and the beach
- loved that many people came in and out of camp so that I could make tons of friends. We even had family style dinners to meet each other and bonfires which were a blast!
- cottage was well stocked with all kitchen utensils I needed even though i ended up grilling quite a bit!
- host Raven and Lyra are absolute angels. Kindest people you will meet
- in the cottage you don’t have a mosquito issue at all, when go in the backyard you do. It was nice to not have to wear big spray in my cottage.
Cons
- washing clothes was a hassle since I didn’t have a car. I either asked around until someone could give me a ride or Ubered. It’s a $10-$15 Uber to get there and same back so that’s $20-$30. Then it cost about $10 to wash and dry one load. So washing clothes is pricey, just be aware of that. I’ve never had to use a laundry mat before so I did not budget properly for this.
- some people arrive late at night who are staying in the tents and they don’t know where to go, had a few times I was woken up by people knocking on my door looking for the host Raven who was just in the cottage next to mine. Easy mistake to make but one time a woman actually tried to open my door and was peeping through the window which was uncomfortable.
- Hawaii has bugs, be ready to kill some cockroaches and ants.
