- When renting the River House, know that there are many other cabins and cabanas. You will be directed to the whiteboard, but it is NOT at the house like the listing makes it seem. You DO go to the green placard and go behind the house that's partitioned to renters. Then you'll go back and drive down the road a bit more. In the dark, it's difficult to find. There are no signs for your turn so look for a big, tall stump/trunk on the left.
- It says no cleaning fee, but if you don't do everything listed on the fridge, they will charge a cleaning fee.
- The river is very close which is nice. You can hear it with the windows open.
- Be minimal with your trash as Hawaiian Islands cannot recycle much of anything as of recently.
- It's in a beautiful location near the Botanic Garden. Very lush, vegetated area and not far from Hilo.
- Plenty of privacy.
- Laundry is done behind one of the walls which you will definitely hear if it's running.
- It's a duplex, and someone was in the other side, but I never heard or saw them. I only saw their car.
- Full kitchen.
- Two twin beds in the loft. Queen bed in the living room. There's also a TV.
- Solar powered. There's a box by the bed to demonstrate how much energy you have. Also a water catchment so be sparingly.
- Waste is brought out the a nearby she'd out front at the end of your trip, which is nice how close it is (plus because you are responsible for it or you'll be charged a cleaning fee).
