The place was easy to find and a good starting point for exploring the Hilo side of Hawaii. If you stay there, definitely go check out Akaka Falls which is 5 minutes up the road. Cody was super helpful and responsive with the questions I had, and I'm grateful!
Everything was clean and the communal kitchen downstairs was well stocked for breakfast, which is good since there was nothing open within walking distance during our trip. It may have been because it was Easter weekend. Otherwise, there seems to be a coffee shop a block away, but you'll need to hop in your car for more. That said, the store next door to the inn is well worth the visit. The owner is friendly and she has a cool collection of local crafts that make much better souvenirs than what you usually find in touristy shops.
The room was clean, charmingly decorated and comfortably appointed and everything worked. We enjoyed a few vinyl records in the downstairs lounge on our second night, while watching the rain outside. That being said, the photos presented for the listing led me to believe there was access to open space like a yard/garden, and that this was within walking distance from the ocean. Not the case. It wasn't a big deal for us, as we had planned a lot of activities on the island, but if you just wish for a kind of a low key vacation lying on the beach or a lounge chair with a book all day and have your room and all your meals within walking distance, this isn't the place. It has other charms, however, if you're willing to explore.
