Communication was excellent and very attentive to our needs. We needed to change our plans and shave off a day at the beginning of our trip and the host was very accommodating to change the length of stay and issue us a one day refund. The location was fun seeing wild chickens and nature everywhere. We came with a family with 3 boys ages 8-10 and got no complaints about the accommodations.

The host was quick to respond to assist. There were a lot of amenities to use. We didn’t use anything in the kitchen but it was fully stocked with everything. The place was spacious and beautiful. Few missed cleanliness details but was addressed right away. Beautiful touches as well that were greatly appreciated.

Work and Play in Hilo

Location is facing Wailoa River State Recreation Area with short walk to park and across great bridges of the Wailoa River. Within walking distance of many great restaurants; Hawaiian Style Cafe, Ola Brew, Kamana Kitchen, et cetera. Enjoyed location being more kama'aina than resort style. Pool and laundry were both very convenient.
