The host was quick to respond to assist. There were a lot of amenities to use. We didn’t use anything in the kitchen but it was fully stocked with everything. The place was spacious and beautiful. Few missed cleanliness details but was addressed right away. Beautiful touches as well that were greatly appreciated.

Smaller place but well equipped kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. There was broken glass in the corner of the living room that we had to clean up and generally it wasn't the cleanest when we checked in.Location was good and made it easy to travel around Hilo and the east side of the island.The property owner was great and communicated quickly.

Thank you for the stay, unfortunately the beautiful huge banyan tree was cut this year due to fire risk, there are still palm trees and papaya trees around. Small animals love the lawn, HOA maintenance clean the area often, may missed some due to rain.

Very kind land lord who is willing to take that extra step to make sure you are satisfied. There were a couple of issues, but she made sure they were rectified. One thing I would like to suggest is replacing the bath linens, as they felt and looked old and scratchy. Thanks

Work and Play in Hilo

Location is facing Wailoa River State Recreation Area with short walk to park and across great bridges of the Wailoa River. Within walking distance of many great restaurants; Hawaiian Style Cafe, Ola Brew, Kamana Kitchen, et cetera. Enjoyed location being more kama'aina than resort style. Pool and laundry were both very convenient.
