Aloha is needed

When listing a property that's a duplex, it should be listed as such. When listing a second bathroom - an outside shower shouldn't count as such. When a paying customer asks questions, the attitude of "you can always cancel is you want to" is unacceptable. The Aloha spirit was no where to be found. When needed clarity for a family trip, I shouldn't have to feel like I'm bothering the property owner anytime something collectively comes up. Don't get me wrong, this duplex is nice, the grounds are typical for the big island and the rental met the vrbo listed requirements that they give us as owners... Just a few ticks: - the on-site contact was not aware of our arrival and was very confused - we could not check-in to the digital door the first night when we came back, we had to wait in the dark and the owner did it digitally - pest control is needed. We found bugs (not bed bugs) in both beds, both bedrooms and the bathroom. This did not occur once, it was everyday. - some towels had stains on them - Aloha goes a long way. It was very much needed here.

Why they chose this property

Kehena Beach Estates is a family friendly neighborhood. The property is a short stroll from the black sand beach & boasts access to a number of outdoor activities & unique festival like Sunday Drum Circle. Kaimu Beach Park, MacKenzie State Recreation Area, Isaac Hale Beach Park, new beaches & the 2018 lava flows are a short drive away. Uncle Robert's & Kaimu Corner Store in Kalapana are the closest Bar, Restaurant & Store. Wednesday night & Saturday morning market at Uncle's must not be missed.

The practical things:
- Grocery Store/Corner Store: the closest is the Kaimu Corner Store. Next closest are Pahoa's Malama Market or Island Naturals.
- Pharmacy: Pahoa Pharmacy or Longs Drugs in Pahoa.
- Neighborhood Restaurant: the nearest is Uncle Robert's in Kalapana. In Pahoa town you will find Kaleo's Bar & Grill and Ning's Thai Cuisine. There are also Pizza places, Paolo's Bistro, etc. In Hilo try Hilo Bay Cafe (New American), Sombat's (Thai) or Kamana Kitchen (Indian).
- Coffee Shop: Sirius Coffee Connection in Pahoa, or brew your own Kona Coffee.
- Nearby Park or Green Space: Besides our Kehena Black Sand Beach there is Kaimu Beach Park, MacKenzie State Recreation Area & Isaac Hale Beach Park.
- Laundromat: Suds 'n Duds Laundromat in Pahoa
- Main Transportation Hub or Bus Stop: There is a bus stop on the main road but the bus doesn't really come by regularly, so we highly recommending renting a car.

What makes this property unique

Stay in and enjoy the peace and quiet of our neighborhood and it's tropical setting in paradise complete with song birds, 'io (Hawaiian hawk) soaring overhead, the sounds of the ocean, trade winds and sunshine during the day and amazing stargazing at night (with the occasional clouds and rain). Kickback on the hammock, sip on a cocktail, or soak in the sun on the lanai or pick some fruit from the yard (when in season). Slow down and unwind, you are officially on island time.
