We had a wonderful family trip to Big Island, thanks to Daryl and his spacious and beautiful home. The room is like a large studio apartment, complete with a kitchen, dining space and two huge beds. The shower is a little fiddly, but the water is hot and pressure is great!
At nighttime, the traffic noise quiets down and you can hear coqui frogs, chickens and more. Everyone said they slept really well!
During the day, there is a beautiful view of ranch-style homes and the ocean. Yes, there is a little traffic noise, but it's nothing in comparison to Waikiki - or most cities, for that matter!
Overall, this is a great base for exploring Volcanoes National Park, Hilo and other attractions on the windward side. We felt right at home--and it was great having someone on site to make sure everything went well, too.
Great value home and wonderful hosts - thank you for the beautiful stay, Daryl and family!
