What a fantastic stay — this house is perfectly located in close proximity to downtown Hilo, but at the same time has the peace and quiet of a residential home. The photos don’t do the home justice in terms of its size – – it felt palatial for my friend and myself and our two young daughters. Then again we are city kids, and anything over 1900 ft.² feels pretty massive. Extremely well appointed kitchen so that we were able to cook for the majority of our stay. The separate TV room was a great play space for our girls. There is no air-conditioning, but all of the windows are well screened and there fans in all the upstairs bedrooms – – aside from one particular a hot day, it was easy to go without.
