We were very comfortable in this beautiful, spacious and well-furnished home with amazing panoramic view of the ocean just 50 feet from the nested sliding glass doors that allowed the entire east-facing portion of the home to be opened to a 180 degree view of the Pacific. We cooked most every meal in the kitchen, which had every pan, plate and utensil you might need. One special treat was the hike to Shipman Beach - the trail head is about a mile from the house, and there we saw 9 sea turtles and were able to safely swim. Best beach on the Hilo side! One annoyance was the solar-powered cameras that had un-switched motion detector lights that came on through-out the night. Unless it's overcast, you should also be prepared for a very bright good morning with the sunrise, as there are no window coverings on the sliding glass doors. All-in-all, highly recommended!
