I hate to leave any negative feedback because the house and views were really, really wonderful but I would want to know this information myself. The house had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable. Loved early mornings on the porch when it was quiet and ease of walking to beach across street. On a referral we went to Hawaii Botanical Gardens and had lunch at the Shake Shack nearby. I felt most relaxed there, so beautiful. The Farmer’s Market is cool. Check out Volcano’s National Park (spend a day). As far as what the property manager/owner provided and could control, it was amazing. Take this for what you will. To set expectations, the road in front of the house is where everyone goes to cruise. It dead ends shortly past the house, which is the turn around point. You get it all, bumpin’ bass, burnouts, lifted trucks & SUV’s, sports cars, Harley’s, and dirt bikes doing wheelies. I honestly don’t hate any of these things, but it def wasn’t the chill vibe we wanted for vacation. Our experience with quiet hours was it seemed more like a suggestion. Def stuff going on until 11pm or so. Had a 3am wake up call from a car parked across road wanting to share how loud their stereo & bass were for over 40 min before being told to leave. I guess we were amazed that others didn’t mention any issues with noise. Maybe it was because we stayed Fri- Mon. I don’t want to steer away from a really great house. Just set your expectations that it’s a possibility.

We are so happy with this stay that we plan to come back again for sure. It made our stay worth it and we made awesome memories. Richardson beach is a few steps away so we took advantage of how close it is and visited often. I just wished it had AC, that will be the only negative. Other than that, they have everything you might need to enjoy your stay in Hilo. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home with us. Mahalo, R’s Family

This is a relaxing, beautiful home with a lovely ocean view. We easily found everything we needed, and appreciated helpful communications with the property manager. A very easy walk to the sea from the house. Mahalo hosts :)

We will definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in Hilo.

Totally convenient home but out of the hustle and bustle during the busy MM festivities.

Loved loved the home, communication was great! Would recommend it! 5 stars all the way!

We stayed for 4 nights in February, and loved it. The deck is perfect for coffee in the morning and to sit and enjoy the breeze in the afternoon. The kitchen was great and we loved how spacious this space was both inside and outside. We loved seeing the honus in the lagoon across the street and how quiet the area was at night. There's nothing bad to say about this place--I can't wait to go back. Mahalo to Thom for all of his help.

We are so grateful to have found this house. To sit on the lanai and watch whales was a treat. The access to anything we needed, or wanted was close. This was our second stay, and we hope to return!
