Lovely classic Hawaiian home with a view through the park of Reeds Bay and the ponds. Beautifully maintained home with two good size bedrooms, modern clean bathroom, very nice living space and large chef-size kitchen (well stocked with amenities). The highlight of the home is the outside covered living space with bench seating and a beautiful wood slab table with seating for 6 or more. My favorite place to hang out and watch the activity in the park, the birds in the yard and all the fun to be had on the ponds by the swimmers, paddle boarders and kayakers. There are two or three nice restaurants within walking distance. Enjoyed morning walks along Banyan drive to Coconut Island gardens and park. This home is NOT located in a quiet secluded spot. Be aware of the street traffic noise. Didn’t bother us but could be a deterrent for some. This house sits right on a busy street with a transportation shipping yard on the opposite side of the street (beeping noises from the trucks backing up can be a continual background noise on certain days). And the house is located a short distance from the downtown area of Hilo. This is the rainy side of the island and the downpours are spectacular but don’t usually last too long. So many things to do and see on this side of the island from farms, to black-sand beach parks, to volcano hikes, coffee and cacao farms, waterfalls and botanical gardens, kayak & paddle board rentals a block or two away. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.
