Roomy house, we had 10 people so used the whole house, up and down. Plenty of room to hang out, share meals, plenty of good linens and towels, also found some staples like seasonings and napkins, etc left by others - came in very handy. All in all enjoyed the place, roosters, geckos and all! Hilo is a gem not to be missed - this was definitely a Hilo house! Oh and the laundry facilities were superb, also very handy because we did so much water play at Carlsmith Park and Coconut Island AND because we did so much stuff in the rain, like hike at Hawaii Volcanoes and visit various caves, waterfalls, etc.
