The house is an older house that has been renovated. The master bedroom and the attached bathroom are not one of the renovated rooms. Because of the location there are many mosquitoes as well as frogs that will chirps throughout the night. The house is nearby Carlsmith Beach Park which, I believe, are one of the best beaches in Hilo. Lastly, during our stay because of a power surge the TV blew its fuse. James, very graciously, replaced the TV.
