The only thing that I would change is the distance from attractions. The house is a little drive away from the airport, downtown Hilo, and attractions. Each morning we drove about 45 mins to 1 hour to get to our destination. However, that was with the morning traffic. The location of the property was not bad enough to prevent us from staying there again.

The room was Clean! Comfortable! and Inviting, and most importantly Affordable! There was so much thought put into making our stay great by the host, for example....the booklet the host put together with information about the island, restaurants, sites to visit, and even a list of translated words to use when talking to the locals. The bed had a firm and a soft pillow for each guest! There was beach gear and even bug spray available for us to use. Overall, it was a great place.

Nothing. It was exceptional.

What a fantastic alternative to a hotel! I can’t say enough about how easy and comfortable our stay was here. The owners were kind and accommodating and the accommodations were clean and in excellent condition. So tastefully decorated and the surrounding gardens were just beautiful. The ocean was just blocks away and the whole area was just so peaceful. Would stay here for very visit if I could! Perfect space for my teenage daughter and I.

Honestly, nothing and usually I can think of something.

My favorite place so far on the Big Island. It was spacious and impeccably clean. The bed is SUPER comfortable with soft linens and pillows that reminded me of home. The Keurig coffee with sweetner, sugar and real cream was the BEST. There is a filtered water cooler too. They provide shampoo, conditioner and soap in the shower that seemed high quality and smells good, plus there were helpful items like some lotion/off/sunblock although someone may have left those items behind. I loved the outlet strips on each side of the bed to allow both of us to charge our multiple devices simultaneously, which is helpful to those of us traveling with a lot of devices. The ceiling fans worked great and it was a fine temp without A/C. Another nice touch is the games to play (ex Monopoly/Life) and some books to read, which we appreciate when travelling. The WIFI worked great and we used their guide book of suggestions/recommendations to decide to hike the Puna Trail (Shipman Beach). It was walking distance from the room. It was not the easiest hike, but not the hardest, and the beach at the end made it so worthwhile as we hung out with many huge sleeping sea turtles. I highly recommend this stay!

The backyard was beautiful. It felt like waking up to paradise each morning.

We walked 3 blocks to the beach. Everywhere we walked around the property was stunning. Lush with vegetation. We would sit on the lanai every morning and evening. The accommodations were recently completed beautifully so it was new, clean, roomy, and perfect for our party of three. The host was friendly and welcoming and willing to make our stay the best experience for us. Would definitely stay there again.

We loved it- the decor is beautiful! The bath towels were luxuriously soft / everything was spotless!!

The area is just gorgeous- a few minutes walk fro some amazing cliffs and crashing waves!

That the people were extremely judgemental! My daily driver(2010 BMW 328i in brand new condition) was behind a locked gate at a friend's house who was programming new keys for it because the old ones had grown legs. So I brought the key I am currently restoring (1998 Honda Prelude VTi-R #1 of 97 ever built and the ONLY one here in Hawaii) this car as well in very good condition it is just primer black and my tags are in storage. Now my car was going to the shop to be painted that afternoon so I only stopped by to check in put my stuff in the room, take a shower then go drop off my car and Uber back.. but oh no I was denied my ability to stay there because of the "way my car looked"... That it looked stolen (even though I have the title to the car with my name on it that I offered to show them but to no avail). I don't take assumptions of me very well nor do I tend to remain cordial with the people making them but with these people it's better to just not even waste your breath with because it will get you nowhere with these rich bitch silver spoon sucking haoles... What a disgrace to the Big Island.

The location until I met the people there and slow motion ass neighborhood watch kid.
