Good value and location for the price. Facilities were a little dated but it was well maintained and clean. The birds sang very loudly so if you need quiet at night that could be problematic but if you enjoy the sound it is pleasant. I would stay here again.

Greg and Marie were great hosts. We thought the location was excellent and the room was very clean. I especially liked the decor inside and the yard was so well kept. We loved the lookout in the backyard. My husband saw whales every day. The only thing that might put someone off is the very pro Trump flags and lawn signs and a full size blow up of the man by the front door. So be aware if you’re a Dem or from a country that Trump is trying to take over! I did find it a bit stressful.

Friendly hosts who let us pick lemons and limes from the trees in their yard. We felt very safe in the area, quick walk to the beach, and AMAZING sunrise views from the overlook!!! Wish we booked at least 3 nights! It is also a very quick drive in to Hilo. Cannot recommend this place enough!

If I could give Marie & Greg 10 stars, I would. This was our second visit and it was even more outstanding than the first. They make you feel like old friends or treasured family instead of just VRBO guests. The neighborhood is quiet, convenient to everything on the east side of the big island and offers anything you could need for a relaxing visit. We will return again!

The place was as described and the host very helpful. The observation deck makes the experience. There is a significant amount of political decor around the property . You may or may not appreciate this ambiance. I would have liked to have known that before booking as it wasn’t the vibe I was for on vacation.
