Great little space!! Kitchen set up is super helpful if you plan to make some of your own meals. The little toaster/coffee pot deal is adorable!!
It does get cold at night (April) and Hilo is a damp environment so plan accordingly! They have provided a heater and extra blankets which came in handy some of the nights!!
Super close to the Volcano National park but a bit of a drive (20-30min) if you wanna head anywhere else. Might be an adjustment for people used to a city. It’s about 10 min from the main road to the house.
I didn’t get to spend as much time outside as I’d hoped. Just wasn’t the right season for it between rain and mosquito’s but the deck is nice place to wind down if the weather cooperates. They even provide a bottle of wine - very thoughtful!
If you are working remote the WiFi was excellent inside but spotty on the deck.
Lastly, keep in mind you are driving on country roads so slow down and pay attention!! There are epic potholes, the streets do flood when the rain is heavy, and there are stray dogs, pigs and chickens pop out of nowhere!!
The street the house is on and the driveway are a bit hard to find in the dark - so I’d highly recommend arriving in the day light. Once you’ve done it navigating in the dark is WAY easier!
