This house is large and well stocked. The kitchen has been updated and is really nice. It is stocked beyond what would be expected. There’s tons of dishes, pots and pans, knives, Tupperware. And it’s all really nice stuff too! There’s even a Ninja blender. Great appliances too. We did a lot of cooking so we all appreciated the amenities in the kitchen. The only thing I would say that needs upgrading in the kitchen is there is no dishwasher. Since this is a large house that will have lots of people staying in it, doing dishes by hand is a bit of a pain.
There are five bedrooms that were pretty comfortable, and there’s more sleeping possibilities too on the couches. We loved that there was three separate areas for people to hang out and watch TV. The backyard is really nice and I think they should include some pictures of that in the ad. I was surprised by how large and pretty it is. Yard in front and back is not fenced at all so if you have a toddler be aware of that.
The house is in a busy road. The traffic is loud. It quiets down at night and I wore earplugs so it wasn’t too big a deal. The house is also across from a small defunct jail. Not the prettiest sight when walking out the front door. But again not a big deal. I thinks there are plans to tear it down at some point. And the view from the other end of the house is of the ocean, so that makes up for it. Gorgeous views for sunrise!
Location is great. Super close to downtown area with cute restaurants, super close to some waterfalls. 15 min drive to the best beaches in Hilo.
If you have a large group I definitely recommend this house!
