Our party of 8 (two families of 4) had a wonderful time at this home. We explored the Hamakua coast and Hilo during the day and always returned early enough to enjoy this beautiful house and yard. The location is great, so close to the 4 mile scenic drive, botanical gardens, gorgeous akaka falls, and all of Hilo. The upper road drive from waikoloa is a must. The house itself is so spacious. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of thick towels for all guests. The pool was great...five feet deep all around, so deep enough for a cannon ball contest. The yard is prime for a game of gecko hunting (catch and release, of course). Also, the landscaping is beautiful. The kitchen is huge! Grill outside was great! Thanks again!!
