SWELL: A Haven for Sea Lovers Modern charm meets vintage ease in this dreamy hideaway designed for those drawn to the ocean’s pull. Lounge in the Bamboo Wave Bed, curl up on the sofa, or sway in the hammock—always in view of where the ocean meets the sky. You seek rest, relaxation, and an extraordinary experience that will live on in your memories. That quest has led you here, to one of the island's most-desired, highest-rated Airbnbs. To ensure your stay is spotless and serene, we meticulously clean with UV light and antibacterial products. Our goal is to exceed your expectations by providing an impeccably styled, eco-friendly space that awakens all your senses. SEE: Feast your eyes on panoramic ocean and sunset views throughout the suite. A vibrant palette of blues connects you to the sea, from the exterior accents to the massive wave mural that anchors the room. Gorgeous modern decor, teak and bamboo chairs, and reclaimed furnishings set a stunning stage, while your beautiful new bathroom features shiny subway tiles and a cozy window seat. FEEL: Nestled inside your wave bed, you'll be on cloud nine resting upon a plush pillow-top queen mattress, high-end linens, and down-filled pillows. Let your skin delight in the balmy, refreshing breezes of the cooler Kona coffee lands. TASTE: Complimentary tea and coffee await your palate. When in season, stroll the property to pick fresh papaya, ripe avocados, bananas, guavas, lychee, and starfruit straight from the land. HEAR: Step outside to the rich rhythm of the island. Songbirds awaken you to each new day, gentle backyard hens coo, and a nightly chorus of coqui frogs sings you to sleep. SMELL: The aromas of tropical ginger and hibiscus permeate the air right outside your French doors. And when the wind blows just right, the rich scent of roasting Kona coffee fills the breeze. THE AMENITIES & EXTRAS We cover all the basics and then some. Enjoy lightning-fast Wi-Fi, a fully outfitted kitchen with a great cooktop, a BBQ, laundry access, beach towels, and complimentary sanitized snorkel equipment. We are deeply mindful of our island footprint, prioritizing eco-friendly products, filtered water, and reusable bottles. (Long-term discounts are available!) THE NEIGHBORHOOD & LOCATION The crown jewel of our location is the world-class snorkeling and diving at Honaunau ("Two Step") and Kealakekua Bay—home to the best underwater wildlife in Hawaii. Beaches: We are just 10–15 minutes from incredible local spots like Hoʻokena, Manini, Keʻei, and the sacred Place of Refuge. Food & Conveniences: A charming mom-and-pop grocery store is just two blocks away for the basics, with two larger grocery stores within 10 minutes. The neighborhood is packed with great Thai, Mexican, Hawaiian, burgers, pizza, and fresh seafood. We’ve even written an Insider’s Guide for you (including the best gelato shop outside of Italy!). GOOD TO KNOW Your Hosts: Our caretaker lives onsite but is entirely unobtrusive. We are here to answer questions day or night while honoring your absolute privacy. Getting Around: We highly recommend a vehicle with decent clearance to easily navigate the island's treasures and our driveway's county swale. 4WD is not necessary. Uber is available but can get pricey if you plan to explore. Our Neighborhood Standard: To honor our friends and community, please do not wander onto neighboring lawns, driveways, or lots. Care & Timing: Our standards for design and cleanliness are exceptionally high because you deserve the best. In return, we ask that you treat our furnishings, appliances, and linens with care and respect. Check-in and checkout times are strictly enforced to respect our hard-working cleaning team's tight schedules. We are honored to introduce you to our beloved island. Welcome to paradise!
