I've stayed at numerous Airbnbs, and Blanche and Dayne's home is definitely one of the best! My 5-person family stayed at their home for 5 nights, and we had a fantastic stay. The home is new, modern, clean, and spacious—everyone had enough space across the three bedrooms. Blanche and Dayne also welcomed us to the home with a welcome gift! In addition, like other reviewers mentioned, the house is very well-stocked; the kitchen has tons of cooking equipment and condiments, the closet has towels/beach gear, and the living room was equipped with board games. The house is also close to the Puainako Center for food and groceries.
My husband doesn't tolerate heat and humidity, but we ended up not needing to use the A/C since the ceiling fans kept us cool. Overall, we had a wonderful and relaxing stay; listening to the rain, coupled with the coqui frogs at night, was such a Hilo experience. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to stay in Hilo. Mahalo nui loa, Blanche and Dayne, for your hospitality!!
