The house is immaculate and the hosts are just as great! The location is perfectly central to anything in Hilo and beyond, and the neighborhood is safe and quiet.
Dayne and Blanche are amazing hosts; they’re super nice, quick to respond to messages, and Dayne met us at the house to deliver the keys and go over the house rules even though we arrived late at night.
The house has a great layout. The huge open kitchen and living area has AC plus a nice big tv. The water and ice dispenser built into the fridge is always a huge benefit for us. All of the switches in the house are labeled which is such a nice touch! The master bedroom has AC and a big walk-in closet. The other two are decent sizes and very comfortable even without AC. They are also super quiet due to the double pane windows.
We live on island and use short term rentals frequently to visit family and for short getaways- this is easily the most comfortable house we’ve been in and definitely one of the nicest. We felt at home!
