Overall we enjoyed our stay. It does get quite hot even with windows open. Some of the fans in the rooms did not work or were stuck on low. The view and the pool were amazing.

Very lovely beautiful property. It is about a half an hour drive from Hilo but it’s worth the driving for us. We adored this lovely home.

Great location and breathtaking views off the sea cliffs. Very much off the beaten path/ quiet - we loved that we could hear the waves crashing on the lava rocks outside. The pool and hot tub were much appreciated by our elementary school age kids. The property is older but well maintained.

Pros:The view is absolutely beautiful, with an open kitchen, living, and dining space facing the ocean, pool, and hot tub. The upstairs master suite is beautiful, large, and offers a deck for amazing sunrises. The lawn was well kept and beautiful. Cons:Cleanliness: The master and downstairs bathrooms were dirty. The master shower had a moldy, soap-scummy curtain, soap scum on the rock walls, and filthy faucets. We found mouse or gecko droppings on the master closet floor on day one, and the top of the fridge was covered in dust and mold. For such a high cleaning fee, this was unacceptable.Privacy Concerns: There was a security camera in the living room pointed at the pool, and another in the master bedroom window facing the driveway. A few days in, we realized the living room camera was unplugged under a table, but the bedroom camera was plugged in and taped to the wall.Condition & Maintenance: The patchwork paint on the garage gives a run-down first impression. The property lacks air conditioning, making it very uncomfortable for sleeping. Furthermore, one bedroom's sliding screen door was broken and off, preventing us from leaving the door open for airflow due to fear of pests—and we still had two huge centipedes get inside. Finally, the hot tub lid was badly worn, and the hot tub itself was rusty and filthy. We couldn't even use it to relax.Overall: This place is way over priced.If you are looking to de-stress in a relaxing, clean environment, this is not the place.
