This house is so special. It's connected to 'Onekahakaha Beach'. If you have baby, this beach is ideal. But it's not deep. So there are only small fishes.
If you want to snorkel, I recommend 'Carlsmith Beach Park' by 5min, it's more deep and ideal for snorkel.
And locals recommend 'Richardson Ocean Park' by 10 min, but it's rocky so it's not best for kids.
Our kids really like beach. We went to Carlsmith first and then take a rest at Onekahakaha.
This house seems to have been recently renovated. Everything is clean!
However, other items such as beach gear and detergent are insufficient.
It is attached to the beach, so it is easy to see small bugs in the house. As the Host advised, we kept all food, including snacks, in the refrigerator, so it wasn't too much of a concern for us.
For the closeness to the beach, the view through the open door always made our family feel like we were dining in a restaurant with a view.
There is no air conditioning, so it can be a bit hot during the day, but it gets cooler at night due to the nature of Hilo.
