We had a wonderful time here! We walked across the street every day and swam with sea turtles. Not advertised but incredibly cool perk. The wrap around porch was fun for the kids to explore and play on. We did dip in the ponds on the property for a few min (cold :)) the outside hot shower was a really nice touch and thanks for the washing machine access. The other two bedrooms were separate units- outside entry- with their own bathrooms so we weren’t comfortable leaving our very young kids alone in there. So we rigged something up in the living room and it was great! The bathrooms were recently redone and very new, clean. The kitchen was well stocked and we ended up making most all of our meals there. It was a quick drive to get groceries, or to go to Volcanoes (1 hr) downtown for shave ice (10 min) Mauna Kea observatory (1 hr) or north to see some wild coastline.
We will definitely stay here again if coming to Hilo area.
