There are many things to say about what my family and I loved about staying at Roxanne's home in Kea'au. It was our home away from home for 6 days and it provided everything we needed, just like in our own home.
Although we never got to meet Roxanne during our stay, upon arrival, we were greeted by Torrey and TJ, who gave us a quick run through of the home and property and showed us a binder that provides info on the home (emergency information and numbers, places to eat and grocery stores nearby). There's also many brochures on the Big Island to look through to help plan your adventures. Additional amenities provided were: few days worth of freshly ground coffee, fresh fruits picked from the yard and tropical flower arrangements. So wonderful from start to end!
The exterior and interior of the home is clean and well maintained. I appreciated the well equipped kitchen. This home also has an indoor stackable washer and dryer, complete with laundry soap (although we brought our own). The 2 bedrooms were nicely decorated (as was the entire home) and of good size and closet space. There's a half bath and a full bath with walk-in shower. My older teen-age kids loved the free wifi. Throughout the home are ceiling fans which helped to cool the humid nights we had during our vacation. The exterior provided a nice lanai with table and chairs and a gas bbq grill. If needed, there's beach gear available (snorkel sets, boogie boards, coolers, chairs). There's also fruit trees and beautiful flowers and a covered car port. Most of all, there's an electronic gate that helps to make you feel secure. As for location of the property - it is approx. 20 minutes from Hilo. Off the main highway to the property itself took another 15 minutes. Very secluded property in a quiet neighborhood and the coqui frogs at night didn't bother us at all. I would definitely stay at Roxanne's home again. Mahalo!
