Although we've been to Hawaii many times, this was our first trip to Hilo.
We were happy to find Lily's home!
What we enjoyed:
Large porch to hang out on
Comfortable beds
Air conditioning in upper bedrooms. We didn't need to use this much on our trip as it was rainy.
Central location
Contrary to usual visits and expectations of Hawaii, we did not get any bug visitors in the house.
Lily was very responsive with any questions we had.
Quiet neighbors
For the price of a hotel room, we got to enjoy this large home with plenty of room to hang out. Great value!
Things to note:
No beach towels are available, so you will need to bring your own.
Kitchen is very basic. This was fine with us as we ate all meals but breakfast out. There is a new Instapot however.
Coqui frogs are loud at night. I used the white noise app on my phone and I didn't notice them as I slept. You can also use one of the many fans in the house.
There is a Target, Walmart and a mall with a Macy's nearby if you forgot anything.
We had a great visit and would definitely stay here again!
Thanks Lily!
