I will admit that after seeing some reviews that mentioned bugs I was a little nervous upon our arrival, but those nerves soon went away when I realized what a perfect little bungalow this is. Sure, there are bugs outside, and if you leave the door open too long, they might come in. That's just part of nature :) we found the outdoor shower to be comfortable and lovely after a return from the beach so as not to track sand everywhere. The place has everything you need and is not overboard, which is just our style. So close to the most beautiful beaches that we spent almost every day at. Totally perfect place to low-key enjoyable beach vacation without any of the resort fuss. In fact, we planned to stay for half our trip on the Hilo side and were a bit disappointed with all the rain, so we asked John if we could come back to the shack and were lucky enough to snag 2 more nights there before leaving. Absolutely recommend!!
