I’ll start with the bad first: the cleaning fee is almost-outrageously high here (for what you pay you shouldn’t have to take out trash or strip beds).
That said…I thought the value overall was good? Much better as well if you have more than just one or two people of course.
And the property itself is fab: gorgeous vistas, and is spacious but cozy at the same time. No A/C but the Pacific takes care of that: between the breeze and the waves crashing I had one of the best naps of my life one morning here in the living room, and my sleep at night upstairs was otherwise terrific too. Amazing sunrises (perfect for your jet lag) and pleasant watching the boats and lights of Hilo.
Nice plentiful amenities—I was on the Big Island for work and it was nice to come back “home” each night and make dinner and watch the World Cup with no rigamarole (then repair to the deck for a nightcap). Parking was ace.
Lastly, check-in and communication could not have been better; that means a lot.
