All in all, a very peasant experience ... Compared to staying in a hotel, this rental experience is far superior, while also saving money ... The house is located half way between Hilo and the Puna district, and aside from some annoying road work on Hiway 130 each day, we found it was the perfect location for seeing the sights of the Big Island ... The house itself is very comfortable, and the setting very tropical ... We enjoyed the bird songs, and even the coqui frogs! ... We definitely would repeat this rental experience in the future ... Mahalo!
