Future travelers,
Do yourself a favor and stay at Laura’s bungalow. The pictures Laura posted are nothing compared to seeing this beauty in person. The place is also bigger in person. Everything in the house works perfectly. Sinks and shower are great as well. No problem with HOT water! Ceiling fans were super helpful. I loved how you can eat in a screened lanai. It makes you feel like you’re eating outside. If you are a light sleeper, Laura supplies you with ear plugs for the coqui frogs and other animals in the rainforest. The Bungalow is about an 8-10 minute drive to downtown Hilo, an Hour and 15 minutes to Punalu’u Black Sand Beaches and an Hour and 45 minutes to Kona. Laura is so helpful and easy to contact if anything is needed. She let us know what the weather would be like anywhere on the island, gave us ideas on things to do on rainy days & places recommended to eat. Upon our arrival, Laura gave us a tour around the house and she also left us good eats (spam, oranges, papaya and bananas). She was more than accommodating when I messed up on our reservation and we needed an extra night. Luckily, no one booked on the day I accidentally checked us out a day earlier. Thank you so much Laura. It’s been a pleasure staying here!
