Great location with easy access to Hilo. Incredible view. Short walk to a good surfing area.
The house has two windows that do not have glass so there is no ability to shut out noise. On our last night there, a very loud high school aged party occurred from 10:00-04:00 right next door. We got about two hours of sleep that night. It was a total nightmare. I reported this to the owner and he didn’t offer any remedy.
The towels all smelled sour from extremely humid conditions with no air conditioning. Also, there was a lizard hanging out on the walls during most of our stay.
Overall, it’s an awesome location but it’s a bit like camping in the house. The previous reviews are way over the top in terms of their positive descriptions. The party next door was an awful experience.
