Summary: Beautiful home in a fabulous location! Comfortable beds, AC in the bedrooms and Wi-Fi worked fine.lovely The spacious lanai was lovelyso that we could have pouring rain and sit in absolute comfort, looking at the ocean waves. Great beaches to swim and snorkel and play within walking distance and a very short drive to the Hilo airport. We loved watching Kai the Koi in the pond and enjoying the incredible pleasure of staying at this home! The host was extremely helpful and we had everything we needed! I may have also fallen in love with the walk-in shower: big and beautiful with instant hot water! We all love the place. The street in front of the house is busy and there are folks who party on nearby beaches. So if quiet is essential for you, then this location could be problematic. For us, it met our needs perfectly and we highly recommend it!!!
