I just had trouble with the heat. Arrived, opened the front door and it felt like a sauna. Maybe host could open a few windows before our arrival. Would have preferred to not have to go to the transfer station (dump). Loved the outside area by the pool. Very well stocked in all areas.

This was probably the best stocked VRBO we have ever stayed in. It was an excellent location in a very quiet area. We totally enjoyed the pool and the outside patio and yard areas. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating… very nice folks for sure. This home was great just for two but would also be excellent for a large family.

Fantastic family getaway!

Our family absolutely enjoyed this house and the location. The house was exactly as described and had everything we needed for our 7 day stay. The pool and lanai were the highlights and the beds were very comfortable. Will definitely be back!

We had a very nice experience with this property. We look for privacy in our vacation homes and this property met that expectation. Lots of amenities in the modern kitchen, it was well appointed.No air conditioning in this home but once the fans get going and windows are open it was quite comfortable.3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an outdoor shower for pool use. Water pressure varied and we found the best experience was to use the outdoor shower. Wished the water pressure was better but it was fine most of the time.Overall a pleasant experience and we were happy to stay here. Cats (see below) endeared us to this place along with the property caretakers who live in the area.Two outside cats have also adopted this home as their own and it was a pleasant surprise to have them around (The orange cat who is the friendliest of the two--- we named her Orangina--that was before we met the property caretakers (amazing people) and were advised that she is a he called Cheeto. Regardless they are well taken of and we fed them well---you will want to do the same :)Thanks for everythingDavid and Michael

Terrific. place

Perfect Paradise

The hosts did an excellent job communicating and making sure their home had everything you need to enjoy your stay (ok coffee drinkers please know you have the Keurig or a French Press with coffee grinder). The house, grounds and pool are just beautiful. Great place to stay to see East side of island, Hilo and Volcano so close! I’d love to come back here!

A fantastic place to relax!

We were so lucky to have found this house! We were visiting family in the area and it was exactly what we were looking for: near the ocean, great pool, really well appointed, and very comfortable! The property is really well maintained and has everything anyone could need for a relaxing vacation! We'd absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting that side of the island and stop definitely stay here again!
