Overall this house was beautiful! Little eerie at first with such a historical look but that’s because we checked in at night! Just a couple hours after settling in, it felt more comfortable and we slept great. Great area, close enough to everything but far enough for a sense of serene. We loved it! Waking up and looking out the windows was just breath taking! We even seen wild pigs outside! Few down falls, maps could not find the home so we needed verbal instructions from property manager. The listing was clear that the hot tub does not work but to have just stagnant green water in it was a little eye sore and gross. I’d rather had seen it empty. Omg the kitchen! I would love to have one just like it, minus the roaches. There was a lot of roaches. So we made sure we cleaned regularly and put away any food or snacks. Lastly the lights off rule, definitely a mood slicer. They request the outside lights be off by 9pm which would be fine if you could see 2 ft in front of you but it is pitch black outside and on the last night we sat out on the lanai with the lights on just to share our experience with each other and have a few laughs and absolutely NO music playing just talking… we get the call with a complaint that “there’s a light rule in the book”. I honestly didn’t think we were being a disturbance. So that was a little sad to end the trip that way. Overall we loved it in Hilo! Would definitely come back!

We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

We had a great stay here! The house and property are beautiful, and Kurtis was very helpful--including helping us with getting a forgotten item we needed shipped to us during our stay. Some of the reviews mention that the house needs some TLC. There are certainly things you could do/add/improve, but as a home owner you know that will always be the case. It's a beautiful place and we very much enjoyed our stay. Also, it's worth noting that the pool was clean and the kids swam in it daily! (The hot tub does not work.)

We loved picking the fresh fruit on the property! The view was great and we had plenty of room for our family. This is the perfect spot to visit the waterfalls and downtown Hilo. We also appreciated the local recommendations in the welcome folder that the owners provided.

Our family stayed at this property for 9 nights. We are provided the entry instructions that were easy to follow. The house was very spacious. The kitchen was wonderful and very functionable. The pool was nice and the family enjoyed it very much. We wish the hot tub would have been working. The location of the home was very convenient for our visit on the eastern part of the Big Island.

We'd like to send a huge Aloha and Mahalo to this vrbo host. My family had an amazing time. We left for an hour to sight see but this home was a beauty all its own. As magnificent as it is there was also a family feel to it. Our children enjoyed themselves. From the pool to the sauna, and the hygiene and amenities provided we had everything we needed. Plenty of space, wonderful neighborhood and beautiful views. This is the best rental we have ever had. Overall just a wonderful time, we cannot say it enough!Thank you for having us ! Ahui hou and malama pono.
