The house is very cute and homey but for my family, it was too hot. We were in town the afternoon of September 18th to the morning of the 22nd. When we got to the house around 3pm, we couldn’t do anything but think about heading back out because it was so hot and stuffy. There is no AC, all you have are fans and the warm wind that comes in through the windows. We weren’t able to sleep until around midnight. It’s around 20 miles from eateries in Hilo but there’s a lot of traffic in the morning when people leave for work and at the evening when they’re trying to get home, so it can take 40+ minutes. However, they have all the toiletries and towels stocked in the restroom for use.
