Our accommodations felt even more spacious than the photos. The location is absolutely silent and there is a nice view of the water from the balconies. Although you need a car for Hilo, you can walk to a coffee shop, some good restaurants, and the drugstore in a few minutes. A walk to town would take longer, but is doable. The kitchen is quite nice and well-equipped and we were able to prepare full meals. We enjoyed our stay here!
