This house was such a wonderful home base while my new spouse and I explored the Hilo area! It was sparkling clean when we arrived, and we're happy to report that even though there was no A/C, the breeze cooled us down sufficiently every night with the help of fans scattered throughout the place. We especially appreciated the ocean view from the living room and master bedroom, as well as the extra toiletries that are in the second bathroom closet--when we ran out of sunscreen we were thankful to find some to use.
The only slight downside was we could hear the tenant downstairs showering and talking occasionally--however, as people who currently live in an apartment building back at home, it's not a big deal for us so we didn't mind. Otherwise, we loved the quiet and the soothing sound of the tree frogs every night.
One last note: my favorite thing about the apartment was Kristie's artwork! Living in what felt like an art gallery was such a cool experience and admiring such gorgeous pieces every day was a real treat. We'd be lucky to be able to return and stay again.
