We did not get a chance to enjoy the pool but it was sparkling clean. We definitely enjoyed the FOUR dining areas; inside near kitchen, front porch and the grill out back by the pool was super clean and that table was a great place to relax. there was only one room with AC but PLENTY of fans (dont forget to check the closets!) and with the windows open it was very nice. There is also a public walking path to the cliffs right down the road and I highly recommend it. I would 100% stay here again if I was in Hilo! I can't imagine a better place to come home to in the evenings. Don't forget to wake up and walk out front to catch the AMAZING sunrise. The host was great and personally brought over an iron when I asked if there was a way to iron clothes.10/10!

Excellent location to be close enough to Hilo and the surrounding area without giving up any privacy. Great house with a perfect pool for the kids. We felt safe and secure the whole time with the gated entrances. Would stay here again - super peaceful!

This is the first time I have stayed someplace where the photos did not do justice to the house. It was better than the photos. We loved it and our family kept walking around saying "wow." Plenty of room for six adults. The pool was just big enough for cooling off. The property gave us plenty of privacy. We enjoyed the porch and the bbq deck.The kitchen had everything we needed. It was great.

Everything about this place was good, my grandchildren loved the pool, and it was amazing to sit on the Lanai at night and listen to the coqui frogs and watch the geckos catch insects. Dealing with Suzanne was very easy and efficient and we would definitely go back there again

We absolutely loved our stay here (family of 5, with 3 children, ages 18, 13 and 11). The location is private, with plenty of space for everyone. Well appointed kitchen. The pool is quite small, and best suited for young children.The outside living area was great, though we didn’t use this at all. The breeze on the porch was lovely, and we spent mornings/evenings enjoying our coffee and wine, respectively.Games were included so we played Scrabble and Sorry a few nights. Lots of fun.Suzy was an incredible host-communicative up front and during our stay. She was even able to accommodate a late checkout for us due to later flights on our last day.We would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay near Hilo. Easy access to many sites!

Everything was fine. The laundry machine wasn’t working and the owner came over right away after I sent a message. Great service! To be honest, I wouldn’t stay here for more than two nights. There was not lot to do in the vicinity. We stayed here because we wanted to visit Mauna Kea. Afterwards I would have stayed here for one night.

We were delighted at this property’s cleanliness, as well as both its remoteness and close proximity to Hilo town. It was a perfect place to reconnect with and enjoy our college-aged sons. The home was clean, breezy and its kitchen supplied everything we needed for multiple meals together at home. Walks along Beach Road and the shore access (a short walk) were powerfully impactful. The pool was a cool respite on warm afternoons. Thank you, Suzy!

Very quiet neighborhood North of Hilo. You have to drive to get to anything, but this is a nice house that is decorated well and has everything you need. Very comfortable even without AC. It does get buggy, which is normal for the area.
I also liked being in a house, but not feeling like I was staying IN someone’s home.

We had a wonderful time on property, had everything we needed. Would have liked a/c and less chickens, but the pool, grill, kitchen and view made up for it.

This house was perfect and just as advertised! Myself and my friends had an absolute blast spending our days BBQ-ing near the pool area and our nights outside on the huge patio…. Had trouble entering the first gate upon arrival, however I was able to reach the property owner right away! Great communication from the time we booked until the day we left. I would definitely stay here again! Mahalo!!!

Awesome property. If you want beauty, peace and quiet, and don't mind being a tad out of town. This is the place. It was great.

Property was good but has several faults that could have been fixed prior to our arrival, some had been reported prior to our arrival but had not been carried out.
Cleaning team needs to pay more attention to windows and out side guest areas.
Kitchen needs to be better stocked, we ended up buying two non-stick pans, teaspoons and dish towels.
Need to install more A/C units, only having one does little help to remaining 2 bedrooms.
Fix the fans so they work as designed, this fault had reported by other guest, simple fix buy new electric wall slide switches.
Pool area deck needs to be power washed and weeds removed from deck cracks.
Remove cob-webs from around tech areas.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Not only is the home beautiful, but the property is very special. Met Ray the gentleman who took care of the grounds he gave us a very interesting tour and explained the fruit trees. Also had minor problem with leaking toilet and it was repaired immediately.

I loved this location. While the view of the water is now greatly diminished due to vegetation having grown much taller and while the size of the pool is much smaller than the picture implies; I had a wonderful time and will come back again. Birds during the day and frogs during the night. I felt I was experiencing old Hawaii. The private location of the house allows one to truly relax and unwind. Frank, the rooster came for a piece of bread every morning and I miss him already.
