Our trip to big island of Hawaii
This house is just as advertised. It is 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Sitting room and laundry. No kitchen or dinning room. It has a washing machine and dryer that are coin operated, so bring quarters if you are going to do laundry. There are limited towels, so bring your own. The fridge is full of owners food so don't bring any fresh or frozen food as there is no place to put it. Make sure your only have one car as the parking is limited as property owners have multiple cars in driveway. Also add 30 minutes to any drive times you are planning for as you are out on a dead end road that is 30 minutes back to main island highway. The property is fairly out of the way so it is pretty quiet, except for roosters that wake up at 3. O'clock in the morning, but its a farm so what do you expect. It is very dark as there is very few houses around so the night sky is beautiful, lots of stars. Plan to do all your own food arrangements when you are in Hilo as there are no reasteraunts within 25 miles of house. And there is no kitchen to prepare much. A stove that shares a power outlet with dryer that you have to change to use either one. And a small micro wave to heat small items. Limited dishes and only a laundry sink to clean up in.
Home is all tile floors so floor is cold bring slippers for night walking to bathroom. And there are no brooms or other cleaning tools so floor gets dirty fast. Be ready for that. If you are a clean person who worries about dirt on floor this place isn't for you.
Only had 2 odd things that happened while we stayed. The first night we had unexpected visitors. Owners kids or family came into house and where under the influence. They where unaware that home had been rented and they came in expecting to use house. They where mad that we where there. Left with out causing any more than scared whits. As it was 3.ooam in the morning. And they were drunk.
The other event was an unexpected wild pig that came into the yard and made a bunch of noise. Woke us up but didn't bother us.
Other that this we had a pleasant stay. Wasn't quite what I was expecting when I booked home but it was not a bad place. A little odd location and spars on chairs but we were not there to stay at house all day. Just a place to crash at night.
