Upon arrival Diane and Juan were there to greet us and were very friendly. They gave us a quick rundown of their home and even showed us where the outdoor shower was. I highly recommend that you use the outdoor shower, there is nothing else like it! Diane very kindly left a box of toys for our kids (4 & 6) to play with while we were there. This kept the kids occupied while we were there.
Upon entering we noticed that the house was very clean and inviting. There was a beautiful fruit basket full of fruit from their garden including passion fruit, bananas and papaya. So delicious! There was also a very impressive coffee/tea bar which had fresh hawaiian coffee, tea bags, creamer, multiple types of sugar, a drip coffee maker, french press and nutribullet. What more could you want?
This little guest house was perfect for our family! It has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a full kitchen and living room.
The bedrooms were clean and comfortable with big closets. Beds were very comfortable with soft sheets. There is a king sized bed in one room and a queen sized bed in the other room. Four adults could easily be comfortable here. The temperature was perfect with the windows open and fans on at night.
The bathroom was a good size and very modern. There were clean white towels and just in case you forgot any toiletries there were some available.
The kitchen was well stocked with any sort of cooking utensil you may need. We were told the tap water in Hilo was drinkable and surprisingly it tasted great!
I would recommend this rental to anyone coming to Hilo and wanting a neighborhood feel. Although this was a guest house attached to a main house there were no shared walls and we never felt like we were intruding. There is a completely separate entrance and we came and went as we pleased. We felt very well taken care of here and are so happy we made the decision to stay!
