Great place to stay on the Hilo/Pāhoa side of the island. If you’re there on a Wednesday definitely check out Uncle Roberts Market in the evening. The outdoor shower was pretty cool, kitchenette was a nice bonus, and the shower had shampoo and body wash available. The bed however was very firm, and didn’t provide for a great nights sleep. It also had some humps in it, as if it was an older mattress that had dents in it where the couple had slept for so many years before (on each side, so the middle was high). There isn’t central air, just an AC unit at the foot of the bed. Works well, but if it’s nice out you can just leave the windows open. You will hear nature, but it isn’t too loud and is a bit soothing to fall asleep to. Sandra is great at communicating and was a great host. If we needed anything she was always there to help, but also gave us our privacy to enjoy our time alone. Her dog Kai was also very sweet and would come greet us every time we drove in. Also note that you will see lots of geckos, so hope you’re not afraid of them or this place isn’t the place for you. They like to hang out on the porch and we even found one in the bathroom when we arrived. Luckily the hubby caught it and put him back outside. All in all the place was very clean and the host was great. If they had a softer mattress we would definitely stay again.
