We have stayed at many rental properties in many different locations, Carla and Joe's place is one of the best for sure!! They have thought of everything really. And such nice details including everything you need for a day at the beach....towels, chairs, snorkeling equipment, beach blanket. The apartment is super clean and sooooo quiet! The pool is well maintained and has amazing views of the ocean. Comfy beds, well supplied kitchen, and let me tell you, the best water pressure we've ever had, including in our own home. :) The location is perfect for exploring Hilo, Volcano and the other side of the island as well. The balcony is so nice to have breakfast while watching the surfers or a cocktail in the evening.We felt very spoiled. You go to sleep to the sound of the ocean and sometimes the ocean wind too. (I'm a light sleeper so I used a white noise app and had no problems.) Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Carla and Joe have a lovely home in Hilo! We've already rebooked. Maholo Carla and Joe!
