Our lovely little getaway
This was exactly what our little family needed. Cozy, clean, comfortable. It came stocked with random toiletries I’m guessing were left by previous guests. (Thanks to whoever bought the aloe lotion by the way). As well as some beach gear, a plethora of towels and a few useful kitchen items.
Checked into a hotel on the other side of the island and immediately missed the quiet little house where I could listen to the interesting night wildlife. The house is older by well maintained. So long as one isn’t to finicky, this is perfect.
This is a cute vintage home in Hilo. It does not have an oven or a dishwasher, which was totally fine for us. Kitchen didn’t have a lot supplies, but we weren’t cooking dinner there. Just making picnic lunches. No AC, but the breezes kept it very comfortable. Our contact was very responsive and gave us great suggestions of places to visit and eat. The neighborhood is very quiet. It was fun to fall asleep to the noise of the night animals- frogs, birds, etc.
There is a washer/dryer but it’s under the house…I am 5’5 and could fit in there fine- no one else in my family would have been able to stand up straight in the laundry room.
The other problem was the bugs. There is a termite problem which has created a mess in the kitchen cabinets and all between the carpet and wall, on baseboards and window ledges.
I understand that they are treating the problem, but it wasn’t clean.
