Food and personal hygiene products
Being a Housekeeping Manager all food and personal hygiene products should be discarded or taken out of the unit. There was a bottom draw in master bedroom that a toothbrush and roach poop and other things were left in there. A bar of soap and the main house there were empty brown bags, bathroom countless toothpaste and many other things.

Best of big island
Wonderful owners, communicated well, super hospitable, and a beautiful kept property. Everything was available with a few extras. Not far from hilo and lots of nearby amenities and shops. This place and the owners are superb. We are locals and they never treated us less than the tourist they also accommodate. We love this place and looking to book to return soon and stay here!

Great Property -needs better beds
Absolutely everything about this place was 5 stars except for both of the queen beds were broken and extremely uncomfortable. Luckily we were only there 2 nights so it wasn't a big deal but seriously replace the beds and this place would be perfect! We loved the 3 rooms and the spacious living room and the nice touch of having beach/sand toys to borrow.

Stay at Hilo
We arrived around 8 at night exhausted with jet lag and found there’s no shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. The note in house says, “we have everything get you started.” I even called the owner where to find them but she said, guests bring their own, if you need them, closest store is located 15-20 drive. In our time it was after midnight.
The house was nice and clean but we found roaches throughout the stay, so I was always on edge. There were plenty kinds of dishes and pans.
Overall the house was nice but the stay was not as relaxing because we had to do a lot of things in order to settle in.

Great stay
The house was very clean, it worked great for our family of five. The room of on it’s own with its own bathroom was great for our teenager to have her own space. It was a bit hot in the house when we would return from our trips, they had a note saying they were aware and are working on a fix. If you open the windows when you get back it cools down in about an hour or so.

Perfect House for family of older children
This property was the perfect jumping off point for our time on the Hilo side. We were close to everything we planned to do. We even hiked to Shipman’s Beach, something we have never done in past trips to the island. Great hike.
