The overall stay was great. Fans were provided throughout the home was awesome. Basement area was huge. Loved the bathrooms lots of towels. Just a few minor issues. Blinds in bedrooms were difficult to use. At times the traffic was loud. I definitely would recommend this place to family and friends.

This home was great for a family. Large comfortable rooms and plenty of room for family activities. The kitchen had everything we needed. The location was near sites we wanted to visit. Although we didn’t have air conditioning, we were comfortable most of the time, except the first night. We arrived at night and the windows had been closed. It was uncomfortably warm late into the night. That night we also heard traffic noise— honking horns on the street in front of us. We enjoyed out time at this house and would recommend it.

Felt the Aloha Spirit Here
Very nice accommodations for a party of 8. Very convenient location and necessities that made our stay carefree!Kindly note that we bought 2 small fans. Could not use the overhead fan in our bedroom as it was dusty, but no big deal!!

Conveniently Located Hilo Home
The house is located on a major street (for Hilo), so you do get some minor traffic noise; however, it was an excellent home-base for my family. It is conveniently located to anywhere you needed to visit in Hilo town. It was a quiet neighborhood (across the prison) and the side street (where the carport is located) had very little traffic and it was easy to come & go. Finding the light in the carport at night was a bit of a challenge and the the walkway to the front door was dark, (motion sensor lighting for the carport & walkway would have been good), the little solar path lights did not turn on. The house itself is a typical old-fashioned Hilo single wall house that has been well maintained with upgraded bathrooms and a renovated downstairs was more space than we needed. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable with enough towels, extra pillows and blankets. It was everything we needed for our stay, it was very spacious enough for 7 adults (even though the dining table only fits 6, though we made it work). We knew there wasn't any air conditioners, so thank you for the multiple fans. Though, really, the house didn't get that hot and the cross-breeze was enough to keep everyone cool. The piano was an extra enjoyable treat for my brother to play. We would stay here again. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy the home.

Great location
Large spacious house just minutes from downtown. There was plenty of room for my whole family to spread out. Kitchen was fully supplied with all the kitchen ware you could possible need making cooking super easy. The large downstairs den was a perfect hangout spot for teenagers.
