An amazing stay! The home was spotless upon arrival and absolutely gorgeous. The nights were rainy and the days were perfect! The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away in the sweetest mountain air. There are some very happy roosters in the morning, but they didn’t bother us a bit. Every room was cozy and perfect. The mattresses in all the bedrooms were comfy, phone chargers on the nightstands, great storage space for our use, and fantastic lighting.
We stayed with our 1 year old daughter and they had out a highchair and Pack n’ Play for us! The home is arranged in a very baby friendly way too. During our stay, our host stopped by to give us a beautiful gift of island goodies and asked us if there was anything we needed. My husband mentioned how we hadn’t found the bathtub stopper — Simon told us where to find it AND dropped off a brand new baby/toddler tub for our use later that day. Above and beyond!
We had all the dinnerware/cookware for meals and even basic seasonings. We frequented the (huge) farmers market in town and made most of our meals!
The home included everything we needed for the beach: chairs, beach blanket, beach umbrella, snorkeling gear, and a boogie board. The washer and dryer in the garage were also fantastic to have onsite.
We loved staying just 15 minutes outside of Hilo. The town is filled with locals, good eats, and the best farmers market. The drive to Kona from Hilo isn’t bad either. We made several trips to the southern beaches and the Costco for some food.
Many thanks to Simon and Jeri for our fantastic stay! We hope to return soon.
