We enjoyed our five nights at Randall’s. He is a detail oriented host that is very determined to have a clean and convenient place. While it is a few miles outside of Hilo, the small distance did not present a problem.
One day we walked down and toured the Hawaii Tropical Garden. It was a bit tiring walking back, especially since we missed the turn onto the road leading to the house and went an extra mile. But a beautiful walk in any case!
One night we hosted a couple of friends for dinner. Did a barbecue on the patio. We found sufficient cookware and all to make it all work well. There is a small dining table added since the photos were taken that works well for breakfast or expands to sit four.
During our stay it rained off and on. This did not deter any activities, but the frogs did serenade us at night. If the windows are closed it cuts the noise, and the dehumidifier will also drown it out. I personally enjoyed the night sounds.
Loved the bathroom with high ceiling and windows which nevertheless felt very private. The walk-in shower is big and convenient.
We would return if we visit Hilo again.
