Don’t miss out on this listing! Tracey’s place is definitely bigger than what you see in the pictures. The pictures were not updated when we booked but Tracey was prompt to reply when asked about the curtains facing the main road. There are blinds now for more privacy and privacy curtains when you want more light in. Theres no carpet anymore and the bathroom looks more modern with nice fixtures. Note to people that their water system runs on soft water, but other then that they do provide shampoo, conditioner, and soap if you didn’t bring your own. We weren’t home for the day time but when we were, the AC was amazing for the hotter times of the day. It chilled the room quickly. Also, it’s a fully equipped kitchen if you want to do some cooking. The grocery bags and cooler was also a nice touch.
Someone commented on the place being soundproof and I agree with them. Although, we loved the sound of the coqui frogs at night 🥰
As for location to attractions, our main reason for this trip was Volcanoes (which was only a 40 minute drive) and going to the top of Mauna Kea Summit (which was about 1 hour and 20 minutes to the visitor center). There were lots of food places near by to eat at but we mainly just got produce from the Hilo Farmer’s Market which was about 20 minutes away.
Tracey was an amazing host! She was very accommodating and checked in on us to make sure that everything was okay. I highly recommend her place!!
