The owner was very good at communicating the instructions to me. He informed me that the property will be hard to find initially in the dark. I made sure to arrive to the property before dark. I inquired about a washer and dryer at this property. Derrick said there is a washer/dryer outside near the carport. Our travel party consisted of 4 adults and two children, under 10 yrs old. The place was good for us. We were ending our vacation with 3 nights in Hilo, after being in Kona.
Upon arriving, one person had to open the chain-link gate to so the car can get in. The property (yards) is spacious with plants. You can hear the tiny frogs at night, they sound like birds. The check-in was easy with the key pad.
The house was stuffy initially. We had to open the windows and turn on the fan. There is no air conditioner in the house. The bedrooms were nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom did not have shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. The house did have hand soap. The hallway bathroom always felt stuffy to me.
We didn't really get to cook since we only had 3 nights and our schedule was tight with sightseeing (water falls, ziplining, and Volcanoes National Park). We did heat up our leftovers and made coffee that the owner provided. The microwave was cool because it had a rack in there. The television has movies, but we didn't really have time to watch too much tv at night.
