We spent the 2019 December winter break in three different places in the Big Island: first week was at the Marriot hotel in the west cost, four days in Ashley’s place and three days in WAIMEA (currently here). Ashley’s place was a great addition to the vacations after the hotel. In fact we felt much more like at home, the house, the property and the view were all great. We relaxed more that at the hotel - this property was obviously not initially intended for Airbnb. The downside of the Hilo region stay maybe the weather at the east cost wrt west coast (rainy), but we got enough pools/sun the preceding week, so the change was excellent and we really enjoyed the rain! Overall everything was excellent - we will come back to this place!!! We strongly recommend it for people who would like to enjoy the vacations in privacy. The property is huge. My only one minor Suggestion is to replace/renew deck chairs. This small concern should not stop you from staying in this great place.
