We had a lovely stay at Vacasa's house North of Hilo!! Beautiful views from an excellent porch, great showers, laundry, well stocked kitchen with everything you might need. Pretty close to Hilo where we sailed boats, we road tripped to Kona for snorkling and to volcano national park without a problem. I would suggest bringing your own water because, despite being filtered, the water from the sink had a plastic-like taste, this was not a big deal as we grabbed water from the grocery store early on!
