Roxanne’s place is nicely updated, clean and very comfortable. The home is in a very quiet neighborhood where the only sounds at night were chirping birds, coquis and the occasional sound of the nearby ocean. Roxanne provided everything needed for a pleasant stay. There were plenty of supplies in the bathrooms, laundry area and kitchen. From extra towels, to beach towels, to laundry soap, we had everything we could want. We really enjoyed the screened in lanai with views of her nice yard. After a busy day of sightseeing, it was so relaxing to return to her home for some down time. Even my teens mentioned how much they liked it. Roxanne replied very quickly to any questions that I had. The home is not air conditioned which was not a problem for us but if you are a person who depends on AC due to allergies, just take note. The air was cool enough in the evenings for sleeping and the home had an abundant number of ceiling fans and stand alone fans so that we never felt uncomfortable. The home is located within an easy drive to Hilo as well as to the volcano area. Grocery stores and restaurants are about a 15 minute drive. While there was only one shower available, the home has two bathrooms which worked very well for our family of four. Checking in to the house was very easy. We truly were pleased to discover Roxanne’s home and would be happy to stay there again if we are ever in the area.
