After a long day of hiking and sightseeing, it was nice to have a short drive back to our lodgings. The home was in a peaceful neighborhood that was easy to find and check in. We enjoyed being in a quiet country area but still close to hilo town. Our unit looked exactly like the pictures. It was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We did not see any wood for the fire pit so we did not take advantage of that amenity. You can only wash one load of laundry on your assigned days. We did have a plumbing issue that was probably caused by a storm the previous day however Charles was a very responsive host and jumped into action to rectify the problem quickly.
