The property was a pictured with beautiful grounds. Owner was a great communicator and we had a fabulous week in Hilo.

The location is great! Just 3 min walk to the beach! We spent lot of time there when it was raining in Hilo. The toilet downstairs not work well, but the whole experience is great!

Wonderful place. Owners were fantastic to communicate with. The grounds were beautiful highly recommend.

The house and studio worked out perfectly for our family trip to attend our daughter's graduation from UH Hilo. The separate studio unit allowed grandparents a place to relax in while the younger adults utilized the gazebo. The outside bathroom and shower were super convenient when returning from the beach. This is our second time staying at this vrbo and would definitely book it again!

Wow! The location was incredible. The outdoor space was gorgeous. The place was lovely. Wow!!!

The house is lovely: immaculate, comfortable, quiet, and very thoughtfully appointed. The owners have thought of every detail, and we were even greeted with fresh flowers and a welcome basket. The outside space is fabulous, and the home is right down the street from a small beach. Highly recommended!

The house was super clean and I am super picky about cleanliness. The beds were comfortable and the owner was nice enough to leave cookies and rainbow bread for our arrival. It is small—but it was fine for 3 nights to see the sights in Hilo and Volcanos National Park. The upstairs unit is a separate apartment with a separate entrance. My 18 year old daughter stayed there and it was nice so we could have our own space. House is close to everything in Hilo but tucked away to feel private. It was about 40 minutes from Volcanos National Park.

We had a terrific time at this vacation property, hosted by Claudia (which was her family's home at one point). We were greeted with fresh Hawaiian flowers in both units, and local breads (delicious). Made us feel right at home. The vacation home is a 2 level unit with their individual front doors, but a staircase (outside ) that connects them. The upstairs has a real kitchen, while the lower level has a breakfast kitchen (no stove) but a great toaster and microwave. The bathroom in the lower level was very small, but the rest of the place, location, amenities made up for that 1 aspect. Each level had all the amenities from cutting boards, rice cooker, and other kitchen items. Outside, they had beach chairs, tatami mats, noodles, water shoes in a variety of sizes, goggles, masks and much more. There is an outside lanai that was our gathering spot, especially in the afternoon for cards. The bugs do come out around 5pm, so make sure to put on bug spray. Wait for the frogs to serenade you at night...and show up close to your door. The home is just 2 houses away from the water. And 5 more beach parks that offer snorkeling were within 2 miles of the house. It was very conveniently located. My parents raved about the house, and kept comparing our next vacation spot to Claudia's home. Thank you Claudia for being such a gracious host and providing all the amenities we needed.
