We couldn’t have found a better place! There were some small things we weren’t super happy with, but for the size, location, and quality, it really was the perfect stay for our family. Pros: -incredibly spacious! There was more than enough room for the 6 of us (3 children) to hang out and play, relax, cook, eat, and roam around outside in the huge, fenced in yard. -the empty third bedroom made for a perfect “playroom” for the kids. Absolutely loved the piano and all the paper/writing utensils. -the closet full of kids toys and entertainment was a very nice surprise and kept the kids busy and happy while home. -bathrooms and bedrooms were big and stocked with everything we needed - (except extra pillowcases) loads of extra blankets and pillows, shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc. -loved that the kitchen had Tupperware, ice packs and coolers for the run (except the big cooler in closet was a bit smelly so we didn’t use it.) -the front and back patios were great to hang outside and watch the rain/listen to qoquis. -super great location. Only about 15 minutes from Hilo town, and not too far from Pāhoa, Volcano, Saddle rd. Etc. Cons/suggestions: -the living room couch was so hard and uncomfortable we barely used it. -weren’t able to connect to WiFi (“Wifi connection unstable”) on both the TV and our own devices. -the kitchen only provided one cutting board which was a giant super heavy slab of marble, and we did a lot of cooking. -the back patio could definitely use some more/brighter lights - would have loved to enjoy dinners outside but it was way too dark. -the small trampoline on the back patio would have been so fun but a huge chunk of springs were missing and it wasn’t safe. -we had planned to go frog hunting at nights but the grass was a bit long we didn’t end up spending too much time in the yard, which was minor. Overall the pros greatly outweighed the cons and we were super happy with our stay, I’d highly recommend it and we would stay here again!! (Also one of the reviews complained about cockroaches.) We did find a few dead ones here and there, but after seeing the swarm of cockroaches outside at night, I’m sure they’re doing what they can to control that problem! It didn’t bother us. House was super clean and bright, thank you for such a memorable stay.
