Ryan and Vanessa’s home was a wonderful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city. As we came here during the winter and it being more on the rain forest side of the island, we really didn’t have a need to use the air conditioners but, it was nice to know they had them if we did. The house was clean and was nicely decorated. The mattresses were very comfortable. They had all the amenities one might need for a comfortable stay. But the absolute best part about the stay was the porch. It was a wonderful addition to this little paradise. You walk into the home and go to the back porch which is large enough to hold a full size table and chairs and a sitting area for lounging. We loved waking up in the mornings and sipping coffee on the porch enjoying the nice breeze it made you feel like you were in the jungles of Hawaii as the house sits on a large lot with lots of trees including avocados trees, orange trees and much more. We had fresh Avocados everyday it was wonderful. We eat all our meals on the porch. But if you are planning on exploring the whole island it would be my recommendation to split your stay between here and the Kona side as we ended up booking a hotel on the other side for a few days and then coming back here because the drive is a little much. But besides that as a Airbnb host ourselves we recommend this place as a base camp to explore the Hilo side of the island. Last but not least, was the hosts father Ron he was awesome he checked in on us and was willing to help with whatever he could, he lives near the house and is very attentive we really enjoyed his company. Thanks again for the stay.
