This place was clean and very spacious with a well kept yard in a residential neighborhood with pretty big lots. It was about a 20 min drive to Hilo conveniences and beaches. Hilo is obviously very "wet" and we felt a lot of humidity in the home when we arrived. It took me a bit until I realized where and what the dehumidifier was, but it worked great. The longer term renters upstairs were friendly and quiet. The owner is not present so there were a few random things that seemed like were missing, but nothing that interfered with our enjoyment of the space. For example, one chair was worn and kept shedding upholstery on the floor when we touched it and we couldn't find a broom. We were excited to see a printer but then couldn't find a power cord. We tried really hard to keep our food tidy but short of keeping everything in sealed containers (hard for travelers) there was no way to fight the mouse that we saw in the kitchen causing chaos with our bag of chips and box of cereal. One day pest control also came to spray around the home outside for pests such as roaches. I didn't know they were coming, so I was surprised by the visit. I felt uncomfortable because I have young kids and didn't want them around that so I asked if he could possibly come back after we checked out and he seemed agreeable, but then came back shortly after and sprayed. After that, we found a few roaches in the home (probably scared out of their hiding places by the spray?). I mention the pests not really as a criticism (It is Hawaii after all in a country setting and the owner DID obviously hire pest control and the home was clean) but just so travelers know what they might encounter. The beds were comfy, kitchen had regular nice amenities, there were extra towels and bedding, nice books, a few toys, lots of DVDs, good wifi. Overall we had a great stay with a few caveats for those that prefer a hotel setting.
