Everything was exactly as described, comfortable, close proximity to downtown, and far enough away from the busyness. It’s not two separate bedrooms but rather one bedroom and pullout bed in the family room.

Week in Hilo

We opted to stay in Hilo rather than the other side of the island where there are many resorts and more traffic. We had breakfast at the VRBO and then did fun day trips all over the island. The VRBO was clean, quiet and comfortable. We appreciated the reserved parking spot and option to do laundry. Shopping at Safeway and Walmart was convenient. We also really enjoyed the Hilo farmer's market.

My husband and I stayed here while exploring Hilo. It is a great location -- close to restaurants and attractions in town, and not too far from the botanical garden, waterfalls, and other area activities. The host was responsive to all communications and provided helpful information within the unit. We enjoyed our stay!

A quiet, very clean and well stocked abode. Tulpe quickly answered my question about washing dishes

We visited Hawaii National Volcano Park, Punalu’u Black Sand Beach, Rainbow Falls, Kaumana Cave, Hawaiian Botanical Gardens and strolled through the Wailoa River State Park. Wishing we had planned an extra day to visit!

Good location. Should clarify laundry as to whether it is part of package. Done amenities like beach towels, extra blanket and small sharp knives would be good

Peaceful, quiet and beautiful. I enjoyed it so much. The garden was so nice to look at every day while drinking coffee and playing with the “sweetest” cat Intu! I loved the stay and would definitely come back.
