Perfect base camp for our few days on the HIlo side of the Island. Walking distance to town and restaurants/shopping, close to major roads for travels up north to Akaka Falls, and south to Volcano Nat'l Park. Too bad we missed the Jan'23 return of Kilauea erupting by a mere few days.
The house has lots of antiques and a unique vintage feel. The fans kept the house cool in all but the sun-facing rooms during the heat of the day. - but we were out exploring at those times so no big deal. The recently remodeled kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and dishes.
The house is in great condition, but much of it is a little older. We were greeted by a gecko in the house (Hawaiians say this is a sign of good luck) that we escorted out the lanai. We did think we heard something in the attic one morning but with the amount of wildlife in the yard, I'm not too surprised.
All in all, a memorable experience
