This is a truly spectacular location with lots of space to help you have a relaxing base for all your windward side adventures. Panoramic sliding doors in the living area and the large porch really make you feel immersed in the gorgeous surroundings. The house is clean and simply appointed with convenient necessities. It is a bit out of the way from grocery and restaurant conveniences so for less of a chore stock up in Hilo before you head to the property. The kitchen is spacious and the dining areas (inside and out) have beautiful views.
The property is walking distance to the trail to Shipman beach which is a really cool hike we highly recommend.
Communication with Vacasa is a very impersonal and automated experience. That had no impact on our stay but if you like a more personal and communicative AirBnb experience consider this is a very corporate property. The only complaint from our party is that the beds in this property are rather spartan. The mattresses are the opposite of plush or cushioned. You really don’t get “vacation sleep” here. However, being able to have the space and the views and being able to sit atop the cliffs along next to the rolling waves is the real takeaway from this stay. This is an outstanding place to take in the Pacific and relax.
