What can I say, stop reading this review and book this place now, seriously.
We have stayed in Hilo town proper twice and decided to stay a bit closer to the park this trip, and also needed a place for 4 instead of 2. The photos and location looked interesting to us so we booked it. Little did we know just how amazing of a property we had rented.
First, location, a bit out of town so get your supplies before leaving Hilo, but once you get there, wow. You feel like you are all alone on your own island. Hottub, amazing covered lanai, grill on the outside. The wonderful music of the coqui Frogs at night are great to sleep to.
Then you have the interior, we have never stayed in such a well appointed and stocked home. It's like you walked into your own home. The owners had provided everything we would need from storage containers, spices, coffee, tea, sugar etc. You name it, it was there. Even flashlights we used to take a hike to the volcano eruption.
I don't know why you are still here reading this review, you should have already booked this property before someone else did.
We would pay what they are asking for 2 next time we visit the island.
