Location was perfect, house was great (especially the downstairs with ping pong- the kids loved it!). We’d stay here again!

It was a hot day in Hilo, the code we were given was not correct to the key box. They added a combination box to the door which was convenient. We were able to get a hold of the manager immediately, and she responded quickly with our other needs. The window's were open and we put every ceiling fan and floor fan on when we checked in. It finally cooled down once the sun went down. The house could use a couple more fans for the very hot summer days. I recommend having ear plug's if your use to sleeping in silence because the coqui frogs in Hawaii are loud at night. The clothes dryer takes forever to dry but other than that we loved the house. It was very well kept and clean! It reminded us of our grandparents house on Punahele St. We came home for our Ohana reunion. We felt right at home! The house is located near beautiful rainbow falls and 10 min. above down town Hilo, good location. Mahalo for sharing your home!

I thought the house was adorable. Bigger than i expected. Super cute treehouse. Tons of games, Towels, linens. Washer was huge which was a plus. I was very apprehensive because there was no ac but the breeze was plenty at night. The frogs annoyed my boyfriend at night but i thought they were peaceful. Would definitely recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The play was exactly as the listing described .. almost better. So much space and great layout for a larger group/family.

Great house, easy location, lots of room for the whole family. I particularly enjoyed the deck. Beds are on the firm side.

This large house is old but very well kept. Our 2 girls (8 & 11) had a fun time wandering around and playing ping pong in the basement. It did get a bit chilly during our stay as it was windy during our stay and the windows don't seal up all that great. I don't think it would be a problem during normal weather conditions.

A house that's about twice as large as advertised, but in reality you'll mostly be using the main level, which has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It;s quite nice, cooled by fans, and tons of space. On a very quiet street about 10 minutes drive from downtown. You will absolutely need a car, as Hilo's restaurants are a couple of miles away and it's very hilly.

House and amenities were fine but the deck furniture was in the driveway broken down and we were hoping to relax on the deck since it had them in the listing pictures. Also the deck and furniture that was there was disgusting and not comfortable so that part was disappointing and apparently not safe since there were signs all over. I would probably not stay there again.

We loved our stay in Hilo. The house is very accommodating and very charming.

Very big house. (But old. Needs renovating.) However you get all the commodities you need! Close to downtown Hilo. 2 good bathrooms. I would suggest to renovate/decorate the play room in the basement. (Would create another good living area.) I would also add good curtains in the bedrooms so people can sleep longer (without sunlight)

Nice and quite location; nice house. We were 2 families of ten of adults and teenagers. The announcement is not clear on the true number of places as there are a only 7 places. Two of us slept on a not confortable air matress and 1 on a thin futon in the living room.

We had a few hiccups at the start with the lock box not working and sheets that needed changed BUT heck we were in hawaii. The location was nice. It cooled down in the evenings and being a little higher elevation the air blew through the house nice with the ceiling fans. We had cute geckos all around while on the laniu and it was a great place to relax to eat and enjoy the sun. The grill does not work so we cooked our fish and chicken in a pan to improvise. This home I thought was old but cute. Had great space and a lot of potential. We had a family ping pong tournament that was great for our 13 year old twins and a wonderful dinner fresh from the local hilo market and the house had lots of beautiful serving trays to display our feast. The kitchen was large enough to have 5 or 6 of us in there doing dishes and making food. So many pluses that it was easy to over look a few minor set backs.

This is a well maintained and spotless old house (my favorite!). Spacious, comfortable, and interesting. Lanai was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Great stay, loved the size of the home, the grounds, and the location. Loved relaxing outside on the deck. Property is in a quiet neighborhood but fairly close to downtown. Only downside is that the beds were harder than I would have liked.

This was my second time at this beautiful traditional Hilo home situated on the edge of a rainforest. I look forward to returning next year. Thank you Ashley for being available at all times to answer any questions. Mahalo 🌺

We enjoyed the quiet of this spacious house as well as the cool night breeze.

This was our first family vacation in 3 years and we all saved for it. We were very happy with the size and accommodations of the house. We all made some lasting memories in your home, thank you for making it available.

What a great property! We stayed in the bungalow with a group of 4 adults and 6 kids, and it was such a comfortable, wonderful stay! Our kids LOVED the treehouse in the backyard, and the ping-pong, and it was so nice to have access to beach toys and extra beach towels. We found that the beds were firm and comfortable, and we slept well with the sound of rain on the roof, and frogs and birds right outside of the window. Temperature-wise, the fans and open screened windows were enough to keep us cool at night. The kitchen was well-stocked, and it was great to be able to eat right outside on the deck, looking out to the tropical trees and plants. The house has a quirky, lived-in feel, and is definitely not “new and shiny,” but it was clean, and as families with kids, we appreciated the warm and comfortable environment. We’re so grateful to have been able to stay here during our time in Hilo!

We enjoyed our stay in this extremely large house! Plenty or room for a family with large yard, tree house and massive basement. Location was great for our stay in Hilo and enjoyed being out of the sterile condo feel on the other side of the island.

We loved the location. The home was a bit dated and the layout was odd. It worked ok for a short stay though.

I stayed here with my husband, his mom, and my parents. This house was perfect for all of us and had the perfect layout. The house is so open, bright and airy and the deck is perfect for lounging. The ping pong table was a plus and the garden is lovely. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stay very much

I definitely wish we could have stayed here longer!

The location was perfect for us. Central to our activities that included volcano national park, muana kea, hilo, and ziplining. The house is big and the kitchen was well stocked. Our only big complaint had to do with the beds. They were very hard and really uncomfortable. Also a couple of the blankets had stains. It felt more like a home than a vacation rental which isn't a bad thing for the right guests. For us we wished it had been cleaner with new beds and a digital lock on the main door.

Great place to stay when visiting Hilo

What a great place. The layout was a bit strange (no ensuite except for on the twin bed room) but such a great house. Open and airy and plenty of space. Would stay again for sure.

A fantastic home. Large and spacious, clean, great kitchen for cooking and gathering. There was an abundance of cooking equipment, utensils and dishes. The beds were comfortable, great linen and towels. It was a very peaceful stay. There are lots of outdoor spaces, and a treehouse and ping pong table.Super fast and stable WIFI. Great washer and dryer. Fast and responsive communication.

The house was very bright with lots of space, the deck was great to relax, read and it had a big table for us to have dinner after a day at Volcano NP. It was easy to get to downtown for restaurants, to Rainbow Falls and Kaumana Caves. Ashley was very helpful with any questions we had about the area as well.

We loved our short stay here and wished we had spent a bigger portion of our trip in this home. We were somewhat concerned with no AC being available but quickly learned that the cool evening air kept us comfortable (and even cold at times). Kitchen was well stocked with cookware and some plastic plates that were suitable for our kids. The deck overlooking the front of the house was amazing for our mornings to just relax and listen to the wildlife. Downstairs had a closet full of beach equipment like boogie boards, snorkels, and beach towels. Although the home was not brand new, we preferred this to the "high end" condos.

Nice clean house in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of parking and right around the corner from some popular waterfalls. Loved it.

The location is great and the property has a fantastic yard with fruit trees. Ashley was great and very responsive to all requests. I will likely stay there again!!
