We had an amazing time staying here! It ticked all our boxes. It was close to Hilo, Volcano National park, several waterfalls, beaches, etc. The house had a well equipped kitchen, complete with everything we needed to make meals. There is a very large screened in porch that is great to hangout on in the morning and during the rain. It was fun to sit and listen to all the different animals and insects making noises. The yard was absolutely beautiful, with complete privacy! An added bonus was the washer, dryer, spare toilet and outdoor shower located in the little building outside. We enjoyed this place very much and would definetly stay here again!
