Great home in Hilo. Location is fantastic right off the ocean and hardly 3 miles from Hilo town. 6 of us enjoyed our stay here. The coqui frogs and waves sound at night did not bother us. Being tropical you may encounter bugs , geckos in house. Also being near ocean exposed to salt and moisture, there would be some sickness and aging on frames, windows etc. All appliances worked great but did show signs of aging. Note the second floor has beds for 4 people but no privacy. Views are fabulous and the morning sunrise not to be missed. We will definitely miss this place and would love to come back. There were no shortages of towels, paper, cutlery etc.
