Laura and Mike are warm and gracious hosts. Even in the dark, Laura greeted us warmly at the Bungalow. The description of the property is exact - read all of the owner’s description and you won’t be caught off guard. I appreciated all the information before our stay. We experienced it all - the frogs, heavy rains, falling coconuts, roosters and little critters on the roof. But to be honest - after the second night I didn’t need the earplugs! The sounds of nature are amazing.
My 12 yo daughter didn’t feel comfortable sleeping in the back porch room alone so we improvised and my husband slept there and she and I shared the master bedroom. He liked the cool breezes!
This is such a unique property that makes you feel like you are “on vacation”. The only thing that was a little uncomfortable was the dampness of the sheets and our clothes because of the rain. But that is to be expected in Hilo. We didn’t let the rain stop us! If you want an authentic experience - the Bungalow is highly recommended.
