The house is large enough for 3 couples or a family of 6 with the master being very spacious & comfortable with its own large bathroom. Bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner & body wash (suave products).The other two bedrooms are a decent size & share a bathroom. Be prepared that the master room doesn't have curtains above the bed on 2 windows, so do take an eye mask if you need one. There is a small half bath off the wash room. The master is the only room with ac. My family sleeps with ac that runs cold & we thought this was a deal breaker for us, after the first night our kids said they were fine without ac with the fans running & windows open. We are from Texas & love our ac. The master bed was comfy & the pillows were especially comfortable. I loved the door off the hallway to let the breeze & light in. The layout of the house is designed well.
The property is not right off the cliff of the ocean, rather it is across the street facing the ocean. There are alot of trees covering the view, however the property is beautifully landscaped & you see a small glipse of the ocean through the opening of the property gate. Unfortunately we didn't hear the whales. There's a short walk you can take to get close to the cliff & watch the sunrise. The orchard had 2 fruits available that we saw, limes & dragon eyes (Lychee) that Rick (gardner) brought over. He was kind enough to give us tips on places to go & showed us how to eat the fruit.
The kitchen was fully stocked and the washer & dryer was a nice amenity (we bought detergent although the property had detergent, dryer sheets & softner).
There are beach chairs, floats (located in garage) & Suzanne was kind enough to bring over an ice chest & beach umbrella. The entrance to subdivision was at a cul-de-sac & there were often cars parked at the end with people sitting in them. Since the house is very close to entrance & although it's gated it made me weary to leave windows open at night. The property is out in farmland which makes it beautiful in the day but can be intimidating to drive through at night. We had full days & quite frequently drove in late at night. The property was well lit once you figured out all the light switches. Your far enough out to hear peace & quite & still close enough to hit must see spots! You will need a rental. Almost all the restaurants close between 830-9 & it's a 20 min drive into town. I wish we would have stopped at Hilos farmers market on our first day to stock up on fruit. Also, Hilo farmers market kitchen has great food, coffee, matcha & icecream.
So who is this rental for: Those who want the feel of seclusion & still able to take a small drive to a town that's slower paced & relaxed with some great local places to eat. Come dressed to relax. The house feels like you are in the middle of a botanical garden.
