Great location and lovely home. We stayed around 9 days here and enjoyed the beach park across the road. Definitely a fan favorite for the locals who love to catch a few waves and enjoy the swimming/snorkeling as we did the same. Hilo made a nice base camp for several favorite stops we enjoyed and explored. No AC in the home but was plenty cool at night to sleep. The frogs chirping at night took some getting used to but just part of the experience:) The house was clean and functional for the whole family to hang out and enjoy our vacation time.
