We were so glad we stayed here. The place was very nice with great amenities. It was private and had a yard around it you could enjoy (along with a lava tube in the back!). Our 8 year old really enjoyed looking around for Geckos and playing around the lava tube. It also had a nice covered lanai with relaxing seats, a hammock, an outdoor bar/sink, and a good sized grill. Inside was very nice and clean and had all the amenities we could want. We felt like we were staying at home here. Fans in every room with remote controls so you had the controls anywhere you needed. The things they had here were great quality (pots/pans, oven, washer/dryer,shower, tv/cable, etc.) and not cheap like other places we stayed at. I thought the location was going to be an issue because it was outside of Hilo, but I was actually happy we stayed here because it was more central to the different places we were exploring while on the Hilo side. The house shares a driveway with the Host’s parents house, who were so nice and informative about different places to explore while here. Even tho you share a driveway, you still have complete privacy so don’t worry about that. Overall we give it two big thumbs up. Definitely will stay here again if we come back to the Hilo side.
