Family Friendly Home, with a Man Cave!

We enjoyed our stay at this home. It was clean and tidy. Howard was very helpful during our stay. Perfect for a few days getaway to Hilo.

Wow, where to begin? Lots of space, big house, big garden with coconuts, pineapples, Liliko'i (passion fruits), great „ man cave“ (which works also for girls&women...), special ambiance - close to the active volcano site but still in safe distance, big kitchen, everything maintained and working and last but not least: Howard, the host, discreet, friendly and always ready to help if necessary.

We'll be happy to come back.

We had a wonderful time. The host provides access to bicycles, surf boards and other useful amenities. The home is spacious and welcoming. Location was convenient.

Howard's house is beautiful! Lots of room to relax. Beautiful yard. It was very clean. It is important to remember it is in the tropical area so there are a few "visitors" in the house. The fans kept the house at a cooler temperature and with the windows open, it was not bad. We enjoyed the island immensely and loved exploring the Hilo side of the island. We had to modify some activities due to the active volcano eruptions, but we still had a good time. The bikes, pool table, darts, and basketball provided great activities when we weren't out exploring. We loved talking to Howard and appreciated all the little things he did to make us feel at home and make our visit enjoyable. We would come again!

This is a really nice property. We went during the volcano eruption so there wasn’t anything to do in Hilo since everything was blocked off. The place is huge, again, there is no AC at the place but so is anywhere else in Hawaii. There are lots of bugs because of the rainforest. All of these are mentioned on the property details so definitely read through it thoroughly and don’t be surprised. You have been warned! Overall, it was nice to stay there and the owner is really nice and friendly. He doesn’t mind taking you sightseeing if he is available and the guy loves fishing just like us!! 100% recommended and will book again if the opportunity arises.
