Our stay at Anthony’s home was fantastic! Twelve college students and I absolutely loved the house.
Giant kitchen- great for cooking/eating together. Each of the bedrooms was unique and fun.
The deck off the kitchen-for barbecuing, looking out at the filtered ocean view and for night time star gazing. The various other outdoor socializing areas with couches and chairs were perfect for kicking back and chatting. The giant yard was nice for frisbee toss.
The pool and hot tub area- 5 stars for tanning, relaxing under the shaded areas, swimming, hot tubbing and, of course, riding the thrilling water slide!
Walking distance to cafes; Akaka Falls and the goat farm are very close; a secret destination with 0 tourists is 2 miles north at a former sugar mill with lush paths and a rock wall that meets the Pacific.
Day trips to Mauna Kea (about an hour drive), Kua Bay (& a Costco run), Punaluu Beach, Kilauea volcano at night, the Hilo farmers market for jewelry & produce. Fantastic!
