Beautiful house on well landscaped property. Secluded and 15 minutes to grocery store or anything else, but great spot to serve as a base for exploring the Hilo side of the big island. The kids really enjoyed the pool on the warm days where beach going wasn't an option. Wonderful, friendly and responsive hosts. The house did get hot during the day so maybe recommend adding screen doors to the entry ways to provide more ventilation but cooled down well at night. The house is in the country side and there are loud frogs croaking at night. Seriously loud frogs, but better than the sound of traffic and partying and soothing in their own way if you enjoy nature sounds.
