Our family of 6 ranging from 28 to 88 enjoyed this charming plantation style house for 2 nights. The location was perfect for the end of our long drive from Kailua-Kona; just outside Hilo town, and close to the botanical garden and Akaka Falls. We appreciated the large kitchen and dining/living area, as we prepared our dinner and breakfast at the house, and there was enough seating for 6 people. The kitchen was pretty well equipped, but it was a little difficult finding things needed for cooking as they were scattered among several drawers/cupboards. Knives are all serrated and there was no vegetable peeler. Appliances worked perfectly. Bedrooms were well furnished, one bedroom is pretty small but the other two are more spacious. The house faces the main highway so there is traffic noise but it slows/stops in the evening so it's quieter. When we stayed there was a tenant living downstairs and we were asked to respect quiet hours so if you are a night owl be aware. Overall, a very comfortable and well furnished house. Thank you for helping us make memories!
