Summary: We had an excellent time and hope to return. Highly recommend!
Details:
Very well appointed, lots of sweet touches, beautifully curated.
Completely no smoking and no vaping location.
Separate side entrance to their home - private, a beautiful view of garden, Birdsong all the time, spectacular sunrises and easy walking to cliffs or hiking trails.
Clean with lots of creature comforts. The most comfortable pull-out bed I have ever experienced!
Important things to note:
No air conditioning – but multiple high-quality ceiling fans and very good airflow across all the windows.
No kitchen – we jerryrigged some snack prep, but it encouraged us to enjoy the many local farmers markets and restaurants.
No laundry onsite - another opportunity to go in town to the local laundromat and have new experiences.
It is a drive away from any commercial district or services - the advantage is no one comes down those roads unless they have reason to be there, making it easy to go take a leisurely walk and feel like you’re on the edge the world. Everyone gives a little wave to everyone else.
At night it is pitch dark and you can see a spectacular amount of stars. Driving back at night, the good news is that right across from their driveway is a little fruit stand and little library - an excellent marker!
Hosts are on site - we sometimes crossed paths in the driveway and they were extremely helpful and friendly.
They provided complimentary drinking water which was a huge advantage to reducing plastic waste, compared to having to buy water separately and lug it to the rental.
Goodies to be borrowed - boogie boards, beach chairs, food cooler! There is a hose on the side of the house to rinse off sand from the beach.
In summary, this space seemed created carefully and thoughtfully by people who love to travel and want to make sure their guests are well taken care of. I felt that with every subtle touch I noticed in the space, and warmth with which they welcomed us.
The fact that the hosts were kind, available and responsive only added to how great our experience was.
We can’t wait to come back! Please enjoy the Birdsong for us!

Wonderful hosts and absolutely beautiful accommodations with a private patio.
The neighborhood is out in the country; you will hear frogs at night and birdsong at sunrise. It’s a short walk to cliffs overlooking the ocean and a 3 mile hike to a very secluded beach.
No stove but there is a microwave, mini-fridge, Keurig coffee maker and water dispenser.
It’s centrally located with a 30 minute drive to Hilo and a 45 minute drive to Volcanoes National Park.
