Beautiful home in lush surroundings. Huge lanai was so awesome. We all loved staying in this house. We were all excited to come home to this place each night after exploring the east side. Really cool place with lots of character in a really nice neighbourhood of Hilo. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Tirp to Hilo

House was beautiful, spacious and well stocked with everything you need to your stay, including beach chairs and boogie boards (we did not need them this trip but was nice to have available). It is an older home but is well cared for with some updates. We had a very lovely, comfortable stay.

Beautiful house and yard

We had a fantastic time staying here. Both the house and the yard are beautiful. My young boys loved playing ping pong and hanging out in the treehouse. They also loved finding fruit, frogs, and geckos in the yard. Wonderful property.

spacious house for our family of 7

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.
