Aloha! We really enjoyed our stay and the house feels very new. We loved having the lanai and enough space for the kids to stretch their legs. Very nice kitchen, laundry, and two bathrooms. Tall ceilings make it feel open. I would recommend it if you are looking for a place outside of Hilo that is not touristy. We felt like locals - we drove to Hilo almost everyday and it was a little bit of a drive. We also had to drive our trash and recycling to Kea’au transfer station which was not close by. The tropical plants were beautiful and it was nice to have a locking gate on the driveway so we felt secure. Very quiet here without many neighbors in view. The floors creak a little which was hard for sleeping baby. We enjoyed our family time and appreciated all the tips in the guest book. Mahalo!
