A perfect stay in Hilo! If you wanna feel like a local during your vacation, this place is perfect!
James & Jocelyne are the perfect hosts. From the communication, to check in/out, and the extra details they thought of to make you feel at home. It's like what you see in the picture and even more. The lanai was a perfect place to hang out to get a bit of an island feels. One thing they did not mention is how beautiful their yard is, now I am trying to see how I can get some similar plants in my yard in SF :)
The beach is within walking distance from their place. There are boogie boards, fins, snorkeling gears, a pump for a floatie, and noodles for your use.
As someone previously mentioned there is no AC. However, you have enough fans to make up for it. Also, remember you are on an island so you will have some noise at night. Birds chirping etc. Please make sure to remember to clean after yourselves after every meal as little critters can make their way out at night. I think the previous guest before us must have left things out & may have attracted them. They have bug spray underneath the sink if needed. Remember you are on the island after all. My family and I will definitely be back!
