The biggest problem with this rental house is that you won’t want to leave! Like other reviewers have said, it’s like having a good friend with a wonderful house in Hawaii. Saul provided so many thoughtful details that you don’t expect in a rental: sparkling wine, fresh fruit, flowers, umbrellas, cloth grocery bags, full-size toiletries… He went above and beyond in so many ways. The house is not resort-perfect (the salt air is harsh), but it is well maintained and welcoming. There’s no air conditioning, and at first we were worried we’d be too warm. But the ocean breezes kept it from getting too stuffy, and it was so wonderful to have the windows open. And, of course, the ocean views are absolutely FANTASTIC. I’m not a morning person, but every day I happily woke up with the sun because I didn’t want to miss out. We’d eat breakfast on the porch, watching the sun rise and listening to the waves… It was a perfect way to start the day. And we saw whales and a pod of dolphins, right from the porch! The house is also well situated for exploring east Hawaii. We had many delicious meals in Hilo, and it was an easy drive to Volcano National Park (highly highly recommended).
