Tami is a wonderful host and was easy to get ahold of and quick to answer questions! She gave us a ton of suggestions of things to do and we even chatted on the phone when I was looking for a quick idea of where to go eat.
The place was clean and stocked with thoughtful things like sunblock, beach towels, shampoo and conditioner, and other little bathroom essentials.
My boys loved playing in the yard and it was nice that it was gated in. It made us feel safe and kept them from running into the street. The area is peaceful and quiet and there was plenty of space for us in the house (traveling with my family of 5). Easily could have fit more people.
We loved that the location was close to everything (Hilo and north of Hilo adventures, Volcano NP, beaches and other adventures on the south end). We were able to do so much and loved staying on the Hilo side.
Be prepared for no A.C.!!! As a spoiled individual who is used to having it I had a hard time adjusting but the ceiling fans and room fans help and Tami’s suggestions of when to open windows and where to put fans was helpful. Main suggestion is stay busy all day outside of the house when the house is the hottest. Especially if you visit in summer! Good thing there is a ton to do and see!
Overall would recommend Tami’s place!
