Highly Highly Recomend !
We stayed at Carla and Joe's place for a month and had the most wonderful time. The condo is spacious and very clean with the most amazing views from every room of Hilo bay. ( the pictures on airbnb don't do the condo justice, it is stunning in person )
Carla and Joe made booking this trip super easy, they responded to any messages we sent them very quickly, their house guide is detailed and offers many great ideas of things to do in the area, we also enjoyed convesing with them about our trip. The condo has everything you need and is kept in great shape, very few bugs compared to most of hawaii and the breeze keeps the condo cool. The building itself is easy to get to and find. We met many wonderful neighbors in the building and enjoyed speaking with them.
The condo had more amenities than described on airbnb when we booked which added to our satisfaction of this rental.They have a smart TV which was great for hooking up Netflix too! Also they provided chairs and beach towels as well as other odds and ends for the beach, which we were allowed to use. The kitchen has everything you need to be able to cook in for a longer stay. Lastly the towels, sheets and pillows are all great quality and there are extras if all of these. ( doing laundry in the building is super easy as well)
Overall this place has everything you need for a great vacation or longer stay on the big island.
