I really loved the house. Debbie was very helpful. The only problem was that I didn't receive proper information about getting in and if Debbie wasn't there when we arrived we would not have been able to get in.

Nice location/Issue with hot water
At first, we had no hot water. Then I flipped the breaker per owner instruction and we got some after about 12 hours. This happened again three days into our stay but the hot water never came back. So half of our stay, no hot water. I have reached out to owner, but heard back. Fantastic location, steps to the beach. Was clean enough except for the caked on dust on a ceiling fan. Would only recommend if hot water problem is remedied. We were out in nature about 12 hours a day and really needed showers. Some girls heated water on the stove.

Great location
It's just a short walk across a parking lot to the beach. Great place for the family to play in the water. The house is clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. We enjoyed the Hilo area and used it as our base to explore around the west side of the island, view the lava lake, etc. We had several little green geckos come inside and hang out. They really aren't a problem, but it seems like adding a better door sweep would cut down their ability to get in.

Quirky throwback
Pros: this property had a convenient, great location literally steps from the beach, was well equipped, the property manager was very responsive, let us check in early, and gave helpful recommendations about nearby amenities. It was clean and roomy. Cons: Biggest one was this is actually a duplex, and you can hear everything the other guests are doing on the other side of the wall and there's an internal door connecting the two which was locked, but is odd. The "neighbors" were another family with kids, and quite quiet - but you could hear the TV, the conversations, the toilet flushing, everything. The "pond" in the back is more of a swamp, it's pretty dated and a bit funky (sunken shower, pocket doors that don't lock on either side of the "master" bedroom) and the beds are old and squeaky. Also, make sure you get the wifi code BEFORE you get to the property, because it wasn't in the welcome email and I had to leave before I could get enough signal to message the host.

Great beachside location!
This cozy house was clean and as advertised. Location can't be beat if you have kids who want to hang out at the beach. Unfortunately on our last night, there were renters in the adjoining part of house who threw a raucous party, right adjacent to my son's room. Homeowners were very prompt and understanding though and managed to get us a refund for that night for which we are very appreciative.

Maybe as good as it gets for Hilo?
No blender. No disposal. No BBQ. Limited cookware. Funky design with a locked door between two units. No locks on 2 access doors to master bedroom left very limited privacy. Otherwise we did enjoy the location and park beach access and the house has a cool setting for open air living. Price seems steep for quality of home and furnishings.

Beachfront—ha !
House was at edge of a beach park, shower in bath was a 22” step down into a shower pit—dangerous! There was a standing water/bog/swamp at back of house, bugs, frogs, mosquitoes, bad smell. Screens in house torn or broken., we shut all glass windows and still we killed bugs and mosquitoes galore. We purchased fans to provide air, as ceiling fans too high to reach chain or chain not functioning. If we could have left and found other place to stay we would have. Front door steps, highstep up, difficult hazard. So much jungle growth could not see ocean—that is, the the “ocean front” that was across the swamp, Thru the growth, over the large parking lot, past the sea walls to beach….this house was so not as advertised. Such a bad disappointment and full of hazards. One of my guests was so uncomfortable she left 2days early… the rest of we 2 would have left but our air res could not change.

Great location if you can withstand the bugs
Excellent location but not worth it for us. Difficult to communicate with the owner. We had several weeks of radio silence after asking questions. We had a problem with bugs. Yes, I know there are bugs in Hawaii. My wife is from Hilo. In fact, we were there visiting family for a funeral. However, besides the expected spiders and roaches, this place has an untreated ant problem. For the first several days, you couldn't eat without ants swarming. No food on the counters to serve dinner. Even setting a sandwich down on a plate instantly attracted a horde. They cleared up after we set out a ton of liquid traps overnight. The covered front area for shoes has fire ants. My toddler sat to put on shoes and got severe bites up the back of both legs. After trying to hose the step off a few times, we gave up and stopped using the front door. We told the owner we were having bad ant problems. Instead of offering any sympathy or helping us find a resolution, the owner basically scoffed at us and said, "nobody else has had any issues". That's interesting! Because our family members stayed at the SAME property earlier this year, had the place treated themselves, and told the owner that they did so. So (at the very least), the owners have known about the ants for several months. Look, I appreciate that the bugs are not the owners fault, but the response to our problem was unhelpful and felt like retaliation for our attempts to cancel. Be sure to read the refund policy or purchase insurance. We didn't and it bit us (much like the fire ants). To summarize: owner knew the place had ants and did not treat the property, then didn't help us when we had issues with ants.
