We had a bit of unfortunate timing with our trip, but the owner was very responsive and helpful throughout the process - the unit was clean and had easy parking and was centrally located to all of our kids tournament events, it is a great location and peaceful. For a small family trip it’s one of our top choices, thank you!

Communication was excellent and very attentive to our needs. We needed to change our plans and shave off a day at the beginning of our trip and the host was very accommodating to change the length of stay and issue us a one day refund. The location was fun seeing wild chickens and nature everywhere. We came with a family with 3 boys ages 8-10 and got no complaints about the accommodations.

Smaller place but well equipped kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. There was broken glass in the corner of the living room that we had to clean up and generally it wasn't the cleanest when we checked in.Location was good and made it easy to travel around Hilo and the east side of the island.The property owner was great and communicated quickly.
