Things we loved about this Hilo home. The location is great, close and central to everything. The house is super cute and we LOVED the wrap around screened in porch. Though outside there were lots of mosquitos, there were none on the porch or in the house, that was nice. There was plenty of space for our 7 person family. The grounds were beautiful and the view is spectacular. The bright natural light in the kitchen was our favorite. The ceiling fans worked great to keep the temperatures comfortable.
Things for others to know: 1. If you are a light sleeper bring a white noise maker. You can hear lots of critters and night and cars driving on the adjacent road. We got used to it pretty fast and used white noise makers. 2. The owners give very clear instructions on how to keep bugs away, which was very helpful. One of those instructions is to put food away right away and keep food garbage in the freezer. Again very helpful we did not have any bug problem at all, but were really strict about putting food away and cleaning the kitchen right away.
Very lovely home. Would definitely recommend.
