Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Home away from home Nice cozy place that make me feel at home. Just a few minutes away from Hilo Town. Large kitchen to prepare home cooked meals. 2 full baths for our convenience. ##### David M. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackye B.

Jan 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A taste of living local Camp houses were the typical house for workers on sugar plantations. This house has been updated but still retains the camp house essence. If you want to experience a taste of the local way of living this house is a good option. It's location is very convenient to Hilo and the main highway. ##### Mary L. Stayed 20 nights in Jan 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Felicia W. Dec 29, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, location #### Needs work Property needs lots of work, tub has lots of grout, refrigerator has some mold. The floor feels a little wired near the refrigerator. ##### Felicia W. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Becca D. Dec 26, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### It was pretty good My favorite part about this place was the avacado tree in the back yard! The avacados were huge and tasted amazing. The rooster noise was fine. The house itself was pretty old and kindof rundown. The lack of dryer was annoying. Location was pretty good. ##### Becca D. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Cary J. Jan 20, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Noisy house The house was clean and nice. The big problem was we were awakened by the roosters in the trees right outside the back of the house starting to crow at 4 in the morning non stop We tried everything like closing all the windows and wearing ear plugs sleeping on the couch, pillows over our head but nothing helped ##### Cary J. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kuana T. May 29, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Extreme noise warning This property should come with a warning that from 3:00am-8:00am every day there are multiple families of roosters/chickens that make it impossible to sleep—even with earplugs. They live in the trees surrounding the property and under the house. The noise is constant during that time. The interior and exterior of the property was presented to us unclean. Black moldy shower curtain, floors so dirty your feet turn black from walking around. There were five bags of rotting garbage with maggots greeting us upon arrival. They were piled outside the bedroom windows, so the first night we had to cover our faces to try to sleep and avoid smell. The property manager sent someone the second day to pick up trash. Stained couch is “third bedroom”. Washer in the living room is loud and makes it hard to have conversation if you are washing clothes. No dryer—only drying rack. Both of us agreed this was the worst VRBO we have stayed in. This was truly an unfortunate choice. ##### Kuana T. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lloyd K. Jul 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wainaku/Hilo The location was convenient and we were able to access all of East Hawaii. My daughter and son-in-law liked the retro charm of the "old plantation house". A few details would make the stay even better. Warm water to the bath room sink, a tub stopper that fit and a washer and drier in the unit. ##### Lloyd K. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### ilona m. Apr 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Wainaku house House is old but clean and Convenient to town. However, To much noise from chickens. Had to use earplugs to sleep. Enjoyed the gardenias. Had trouble with the tv till owner fixed it the next day. All in all the lodging was ok ##### ilona m. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laverne W.

The walk was very pleasant and I enjoyed the warm sunshine. ##### Laverne W. Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### James M. Sep 4, 2025 ##### James M.
