We absolutely loved this house, but gave it 4 stars just because of the noise from the trucking company across the street. Noise from the airport wasn’t a problem for us. Being light sleepers, the noise from the trucks was a challenge for us.
HOWEVER, the house is really awesome and made up for that. It has great amenities, very clean, very comfortable. The Lanai is incredible, and the outdoor area below with the grill was also very enjoyable because we prefer cooking rather than eating out. We ate our meals on the beautiful table on the Lanai everyday. We liked how close the house was to Carlsmith beach, and the surrounding shopping in Hilo. Kaleo had lots of towels, stocked with everything you’d need in a kitchen and great books about Hawaii. She was a great host and provided some really helpful tips for our trip from Kona to Hilo and our adventure to the volcanoes.
You won’t be disappointed staying here!
