We love this house! We stayed here 13 years ago and found it to be almost exactly the same!

Clean, well stocked with beach towels and cooking utensils. The pool is a blast and the layout of the home is perfect for a family with school age or older kids. The host was great and responded promptly when we had a question. Would stay here again!

Absolutely Beautiful, But.....

5 stars for Beautiful. No stars for amenities unless you consider 4 adult rain coats amenities. The beds in 3 of the rooms are great, not so in the laundry room. Property manager is stingy with paper products and trash bags, but they are quick to respond to fix what should have been working when you arrived. Luckily Walmart is a half hour away. The kids loved the 4 ft deep pool and that is mainly why we rented it. Door lockbox is difficult to open.

Great place for a family to stay. This is in a quite neighborhood, peaceful. House is as advertised. There is a house next door, quite close, but there was no noise or issue for us with that. Not an issue. Really enjoyed sitting by the pool enjoying the weather.

A perfect base for exploring the east coast and volcano

Such an interesting property. And so spacious with a wonderful great room opening up onto the pool. We are able to spread out and really just relax. After spending the previous 7 Days on the west coast with the constant Sun I was happy to see the overnight rain and the clouds which then resulted in the waterfalls. So many interesting things to do on the east coast.

Lovely unique property

This is a lovely property about a 30 minute drive from Hilo. The two main bedrooms and great room open onto the lanai and pool. The pool is a big plus. The house was spotless and equipped with everything you need. As noted in earlier reviews, there is a new house being built next door which overlooks the pool area, and the owners are working on additional privacy.
