The Outrigger was a great home base while staying in Hilo, and Carol's team went above and beyond with communication and sweet touches like welcome treats and coffee. The home is easy walking distance to Hilo Bay, museums, shopping, dining and a fantastic farmers market open daily. It comfortably accomodated five adults and one small child, with full-size toiletries in the bathrooms, plenty beach gear (towels, several snorkel/mask/fin sets, sand toys, chairs, umbrella, cooler), and good kitchen/cooking equipment. We never had an issue with street parking but it was nice to know we had the driveway as backup. If (really, when) my family heads back to Hilo, we won't hesitate to stay at the Outrigger again. Big mahalo to Carol and team!
