This home fit our family of 9 perfectly. We especially loved the balcony and hammocks to enjoy the sunrise and eat breakfast. The house was very spacious and had many amenities that we definitely took advantage of. The ocean was a mere minutes walk away. Only disadvantage was having no service once we passed a certain point on our way to the house. We had an issue with the passcode provided by Airbnb being incorrect. Thankfully our neighbor was home to allow us to use their landline and WiFi as we attempted to contact our host to remedy the situation. Hilo was about a 40 minute drive away. But you stay here to enjoy the area away from the tourist area, which we loved.
