Spacious, clean, well-lit, and organized with a tropical yard view. We enjoyed swinging on the porch swing listening to the birds, spotting wild pigs, and drinking fresh lemonade we made from their lemon trees. We appreciated having access to a full kitchen. Lori and Ken were very welcoming and responsive—their home is behind this Airbnb so they’re close by. My kids enjoyed playing ball with Josie :)
A few tips: There are blinds but they don’t block light, so if you’re sensitive to that and wish to sleep in, make sure you bring an eye mask. Also, lots and lots of frogs make noise all night long—we loved it, but bring earplugs if you think you won’t ;-) Construction going on next door at 8am on weekdays but we were up before that. Sometimes you need to run the hot water in the kitchen to run the hot shower—they will show you.
Conveniently located between the volcano park and Hilo, and it’s beautiful land. We recommend and would definitely stay here again.
