Great house! Yard is beautiful and perfect for active kids! The pool is a great place for kids to get that extra energy out while you cook supper or breakfast! Be aware that traffic can be heart at times on the main roads into town. Best times to go into Hilo are either before 6:30 am or after 10 am. There weren't beach towels at the house so stop by Walmart on your way in and pick some up as well as a couple of bags of ice. Definitely check out the Big Market in Hilo for fresh fruits and veggies and the road side stand on 130 on your way in. Grab some cash so you don't miss out on these excellent farm fresh items! Overall this was an excellent home-base for my family of 8. My husband and I are regular visitors but my mom and dad's group had never been and this place was a great place to show them all this beautiful island has to offer!
