Our reservation was for 7 days and we only stayed for 2. Checkin time was delayed because the house was not done being cleaned, stained linens, eaten food left in the refrigerator, smoke detector sensitivities, mold, mouse feces, urine stains and odor in the master bedroom, and more. I would not recommend staying here. I requested a full refund from VRBO.

The location of the house is great, walkable to lots of fun spots for food and a very short drive to Target, Walmart, restaurants, etc. The house itself is huge and could have comfortably slept more than our family group of 9 (we were four adults and five kids ranging from a 20-month-old baby to my oldest, a 12-year-old). The house had plenty of fun stuff for the kids to play with (puzzles, kid shovels & buckets, etc.), and there was a washer & dryer for us to use. All 9 of us fit at the dining table. The house is older, and the front part of the house charmingly so. Big front yard, big front porch for hanging out with a glass of ice coffee. Those were the pros. The cons were the cleanliness and the bugs. There were roaches in the kitchen drawers plus elsewhere, and NONE of the screens or exterior doors closed completely. I understand Hawaii is tropical, so bugs are unavoidable, and I am not a fan of chemical pest control – but if the huge gaps under exterior doors and around the window screens were closed, that would really cut down on the bugs getting inside. Also there was a fair amount of dust on bedside tables and other surfaces, and the floors didn't feel super clean. There were AC window boxes in the bedrooms which was nice at night; the rest of the house has no AC, which I know is common in Hawaii but just be aware to expect warmth and humidity indoors as well as outside.

perfect for our group and very convenient

House located close to everything. Everyone had their own room. Kitchen had everything needed down to dishes, silverware, etc. had sheltered outdoor area for entertaining and working grill.

Roomy for a big group with lots of individual space. Ample parking. Loud neighborhood but being in the city it’s close to amenities.

Came to Hilo to visit family. Stayed for 3 nights. This home is perfect for families (we had 9 in our party ranging from ages 59-8 years old) really convenient, close to shops, activities and restaurants. We walked to big island candies. QEveryone had their own space and could hang out in multiple areas. My daughter immediately took her coloring things and ipad and set up on the desk area. An immediate plus for us was the AC in the bedrooms, after a long day of enjoying the island, it was nice to sleep in the AC. Mahalo to the property manager who communicated everything before we arrived. We would definitely come back!

This was a great and relaxing home with 5 bedrooms and plenty of relaxing space for a large family. We had 3 adult couples and 1 infant. One of my son-in-law’s had a cold and used one of the extra beds to let my daughter have a quiet sleep. Front porch was perfect to sting morning coffee and watch he rain. Property manager was Hilo friendly and treated us to fresh fruit. AC in bedrooms was very nice at night. Rest of house had nice open breeze. Location was great for East island touring. Mahalo - Mark

La maison est grande avec 3 salles de bain mais la propreté est laissé à désirer. Mon nez s'est bouchée des que j'y ai mis les pieds dans maison. Présence de saletés dans la douche et sur les planchers.
