Your Hilo/Volcano Home Base

Enoyed out stay as we visited the Volcano and Hilo regions of Hawai'i. This home was very clean and open. Beds were comfortable and accommodating for my family. We loved the sound of the frogs during the night and the rain showers. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Very pleasant stay!

Delightful place for family

This is a great place in a quiet area of locals, not in a major hotel district. We loved being on the windward (wet, lush) side of the island, not far from Hilo. My highlights/favorites: - kitchen has a good range of pans, dishes, spices, and tupperware for making and storing our own meals (we did breakfast and dinners at home most days). Similarly, I love that they really had sufficient dishes, cups, and utensils for 8 people. - Our kids loved having king size beds (since they had to share) which were roomier than the standard queen size beds. - In addition to the pictured kayak, there was a large tote with boogey boards, snorkeling gear and life vests (mostly in kid sizes) which were open for our use, and which came in handy. - The host warned the water might not be to our liking, but we thought it tasted great. - The house was clean, well organized, and comfortably apportioned. - The home is perfectly situated between Volcano National Park and Hilo. (We did not need to contact the host during our stay.) Quirks: - There is no centralized ventilation in the house, just breezes through windows. Given the humidity, wet clothes hung up have difficulty drying unless you use the dryer. - The frogs are fairly loud at night, but after the first night, we had become accustomed and it did not disturb our sleep. (Frogs will probably be loud anywhere on the west aide of the island.) Overall, we would gladly stay there again! We had a wonderful time!

Perfect Place!

We rented both sides of this duplex and it was perfect! So clean and spacious! We had a great time! Great isolated location but close to volcano and Hilo! We’d definitely stay here again!

Family Snorkel

Property was accommodating as noted and accompanied all our needs as far as essentials. As much as it rained, we actually enjoyed the sound of it during the nights (really only time we were at property). If you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the town, this place gets you out there 😉 washer and dryer are always welcoming at vacation time

Great stay, nice cozy property

Enjoyed our stay here, no complaints. The host does not provide laundry detergent, a slight inconvenience, the oven was not working but the host was unaware of it. Natasha is very responsive. The place was very clean and had plenty of dishes and cups. Bathrooms were also nice/clean with all toiletries provided. Overall would recommend this place.
