It is so cute and comfortable with everything you need for a great stay! Loved the welcome goodies! (Thank you!). Only thing I’d point out is the listing says it has a double sofa sleeper…this is incorrect. It has 2 queen beds and a SOFA (they did provide sheets and a pillow for said sofa). We are a family of 5, so that was a disappointment that one of the kids ended their vacation on a sofa, but knowing this ahead of time, I would book this home again! It was perfect! ##### Kym G.

Everything was well thought out (extra bedding, crib for kids, stuff for cooking), and we liked the small touches like the coffee and treats. The hosts were very helpful and communicated well during the process. We would be looking to stay here again the next time we come to Hawaii! ##### David Z. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan H. Nov 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing rental - Highly recommended! So we originally booked a room at a resort in Hilo, but decided to change and book this instead because we decided having two bedrooms was a better option. And we were glad that we did! This was much better than a small hotel room and had everything we needed. The best part, lots of places are within walking distance. For food, I recommend the Coco Cantina (2 min walk), it had an amazing $12 lunch special (M-F). The farmer's market is a must. And for groceries, the Sack N Save (owned by Foodland), is a great option. Would absolutely stay here again. ##### Ryan H. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very cool place in Hilo We loved this house. It had everything we needed, even olive oil and coffee, a great washer and dryer, and amazing decor. We spent a lot of time marvelling at all the whale-themed items and choosing our favourites. The beds are very soft, our preference would be for firmer ones, but otherwise perfect for us. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nohonani L.
