Summary: Overall I really liked and would recommend this rental. It was perfect for our family of four. Kids stayed in one bedroom and us in the other. We are used to a smaller house and one bath, so none of that was an issue. The outdoor shower was utilized every night and was a great experience. My fault for not realizing there wasn't AC but you do not need it and I'm glad we didn't have it. The frogs and nightly rains and island breezes were amazing. I didn't think I've slept better in my life. Beds and pillows are so comfy, I wrote Matt after we left and ordered the same pillows before we got home. Downsides are that the place needs slight updates, IMO. Overall it is a nice place and I would stay again; but you can tell that maintenance gets delayed slightly due to our of state ownership, probably. And be prepared to drive 35 min minimum to get to Hilo. More depending on day and time. The price is right though, and Matt has everything you need. I haven't stayed at a better stocked VRBO yet. If you are a coffee lover though, bring your own or buy the good stuff from a local place when you get to the Big Island.
