The Pineapple Getaway was such a gem and the location was very convenient as a resting place for our Hawaiian vacation for my family of 5 (kids ages 9-11). The rental was as described and the pictures are accurate. There is a garage where you can park your car. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. Be prepared for the sounds of frogs at night. The kids loved playing ping pong on the back porch, they picked fruit from the garden, and they spent down time playing on the Nintendo. Hilo is a beautiful part of the big island and this home is in a cul de sac of a neighborhood overlooking Hilo Bay, which is about a 7 minute drive away. Grocery stores including a Safeway and Target are very close. The farmers market, shops in Hilo, and Liliuokalani Gardens are all nearby. In the morning you can see the peak of Mauna Kea from the Bay and it’s stunning. We visited Volcano National park (30 min drive). Highly recommend eating at the Rim restaurant and viewing the lava after dark from devastation trail. We also visited the observatory visitor center at sunset on Mauna Kea (45 min drive) where you are above the clouds (9000 ft elevation). Less than ten minutes away are Rainbow falls and Kaumana Caves. A few minutes more takes you to Akaka falls - take the scenic route. Overall, we highly recommend this home. Pineapple Getaway is in a great location and the perfect home for a stay in Hilo.
