Good access, easy check in, kitchen is well set up. Could use some updates being an older home. Larger AC unit in the main room was great, but had to get fans going to move the air into the bedrooms. Not sure if this was just from previous guests, but the kitchen and pantry were well stocked with condiments and other small items for cooking. Also, nice to have access to surf boards, boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel masks.

Another great stay, our 4th or 5th time, at this Hilo home along “Four Miles” road (Kalanianaole Street). The house is always clean and well stocked. The hosts are great and respond to messages quickly. The wood floors, built in cabinetry, and classic older Hilo style interior is great to check out while relaxing in the evenings. The location is fantastic with beaches nearby and the drive to the house is fun every time. We will be back again for sure.

Perfect Hilo visit

We fully enjoyed our time in Hilo at the property. It was perfect for our family of four and was in a great location for restaurants, the beach and our day trip to Volcanoes National Park. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful location and beautiful home

We loved staying at this house. The beaches were walking distance away and had great snorkeling. The house was beautiful, clean and so comfortable. I would highly recommend this place and if we come back I would definitely book again!

The house is so beautiful inside. The main bathroom is great as are the light fixtures. Lots of nice touches throughout! Very clean and private. We loved being so close to Richardson Beach Park. Great snorkeling! Also, lots of other beaches are also close by. BTW, the notes binder for the house is in the cupboard in the living/dining area. The yard has nice fruit trees, and we loved hearing the coquis at night. We had a great time!

We arrived late night and had to leave early morning but there was no problem to check in and out. Very clean. Great communication. The owner replied quickly whenever we had questions. Great location. I walked to the beach parks every day. We don’t have little kids but the fenced yard will be perfect for a family who has kids. There are stairs (6 steps) to the front door. A person in a wheelchair or a person who is not good with stairs, I recommend to check with the owner. Many Coqui frogs at night. We love listening them but if you’re not familiar with them, you might be annoyed so want check what kind of noise they make. (kind of loud noise)Over all, we enjoyed the stay.

Overall a good stay. We had to use WD 40 on the gate. Soap and shampoo in the showers would have been nice. Instructions for the air conditioner and tv remotes would have been nice. Very noisy outside the house all night. I had to use ear plugs.
