The home is located in Papaikou just outside of Hilo but still close to the local Walmart and Target. Walmart and Target is approximately 10 minutes from the house. The house has an outdoor shower and laundry room with a lock code that is provided once you book. The main house door requires a code as well. We love that the doors have extra security since we had kids on this trip. The house was well kept and with extra supplies and even an extra sleeping cot for additional guests. There’s even a cabinet with first aid supplies. They thought of everything! The only downside would be that the main house shower valve took a while to shut off and the water only runs really hot not cold. We hadn’t told the homeowner or contacted anyone from Vacasa, so this could have been resolved during the stay. That was the only thing. Other than that, great home. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Two thumbs up!

-A/C unit in the living room that kept the whole home a nice temp (we were there in June). -Washer & dryer with detergent provided. -We had an issue with the shower knob and they sent someone out within the hour to fix it. Great in person response time!! -Roosters and cats lounging in the neighbors' yards was a plus. -Plenty of parking. -Would stay here again.

Easy access and comfortable. Disappointed no way to walk to the beach.

Thank you for hosting my co workers they had no complaints!

The property suited our needs and was relatively close to Hilo and not far from a lovely beach/swimming area.
