Beautiful modest home in what felt like a rainforest paradise. We loved the outdoor space and back deck where we hung out and fed the geckos bananas. Loved all the bird sounds (and even the frogs) lol. It was clean and spacious enough for our lil family of three. The host was kind, generous with letting us do a late checkout and very communicative.
Only downfalls were that it got pretty hot during the day even with the windows open and fans going. It cools off a bit on rainy nights but with the humidity it’s still quite warm.
My husband and I slept in the master and the bed was quite firm for us but obviously that’s subjective.
There were no wash cloths so you may want to bring your own. Also BE AWARE of fire ants!! They bite and I got attacked while sipping my coffee in the bay window one morning. I didn’t know they were there because they’re tiny! My friend told me to use rubbing alcohol for the bites and that helped but the stings hurt for hours after the fact. Just be mindful that they are around..eek!
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely return! Hilo is an AMAZING place!
Ps check out Reubens Mexican Restaurant and Onekahakaha Beach Park (most perfect beach for families and lil ones).
