GREAT VALUE and wonderful for Families! If local style is your thing, then this is for you!
We divided our time on both sides of the island starting with the hilo side.
She has beautiful plants, flowers, Citrus and other fruit growing on site. A fully equipment kitchen and amenities you wouldnt think she'd have! (contact solution, laundry soap, flat iron?)We did Lots of cooking, utilized the Grill and kitchen alot. The Water dispenser was a PLUS!! Cold water for our daily trecking and activities saved both time and money. In the case you needed anything Val's home was near a strip mall that has local restaurants, grocery and an ice cream shop.
Valarie is an extraordinary host who has thought this through and through. Her home is CLEAN, Comfortable and she herself genuinely cares for her guests. Ensuring YOUR comfort is her TOP propriety!! Shes communicative, and spot on with suggestions! Punnalu'u Bakery and black sand Beach is a must! Pastrami Sandwiches and swimming w/ turtles was DEFFINATELY a WIN! I am confident you will enjoy your stay and recommend staying at Vals home!
