Debra's home in Keaau was perfect for our family vacation. If you are looking for a wonderful home that is in the perfect location to explore Hilo and the Puna coast, this house is it! We stayed here with your 3 children (ages 1, 4, and 6) and were thrilled with our experience. You get the local vibe on this side of the island and we loved mingling with the most friendly locals.
Debra was so great to work with. She was timely in her responses and answered all questions I had about the home quickly. The home was stocked with all we needed (spices, oils, paper goods, etc). We picked up food in Hilo, but also loved shopping at Farmers markets close by. She had a pack n play for our youngest and there were tons of pool toys to enjoy! The pool is well gated (in case you fear for little ones). There are three bedrooms inside the home and one bath. The second bath is by the pool (which we appreciated!). And that bathroom is where the tub is. There's a lovely outdoor shower by the pool as week. The home has beach towels and a cooler too to take out on your adventures each day.
Some of our favorite stops while on this side of the island: Local farmers markets, Ahalanui beach park, Kapoho tide pools, Volcano national park, Tin Shack bakery & Pele's Kitchen in Pahoa, Uncle Robert's Market on Wed night, Sweet Cane Cafe in Hilo, and Carlsmith Beach Park in Hilo.
Although we loved our adventures, we could have stayed and played in the pool all day. The home feels like it is tucked away in the middle of nowhere and we made some wonderful family memories there! Thank you Debra for sharing your home!
