The booking of the rental property started with being contacted by Kimberly Krail, the Vacation Rental Manager for the Sun and Moon Orchard Suite property. Kimberly was extremely pleasant, responsive and very helpful to deal with.
My wife and I were met at the rental by Bob & Kady, the owners of the rental property. We have not met more gracious hosts, and both were very helpful and displayed charming hospitality. Bob and Kady answered any questions we had, offered advice on touring the island, and yet respected our privacy. Better hosts could not be had.
The rental Cabin looked brand new, and was spotless clean. The unit offered wifi, a hair dryer, cable TV, was tastefully furnished and was a joy to stay in. Located 10 minutes north of Hilo, access to towns or local attractions was extremely convenient, but you were felt your were on your own private plantation, miles away from the hustle and bustle everyday life. Our hosts invited us to tour their acreage, where various mini orchards were planted. On one side of the property, our hosts had constructed a lovely cabana style sitting area next to a gorgeous creek that ran along side of their property. One could sit there for hours, soaking in the delicious sights, sounds and ambiance of the old style Hawaiian plantation environment.
Typically I do not write long winded sermons of vacation rentals my wife and I have stayed in. However this rental, along with the owners and booking manager deserve every word and more. I would highly recommend the Sun and Moon Orchard Suite property.
