This studio has it all - everything needed to make your own meals, beach gear (snorkels, boogie boards, chairs, mats), and a wonderful outdoor eating/relaxing area. Karla is very friendly and wants the best for her guests. Her attention to detail is evident throughout the rental - from the welcome gift of eggs, butter, creamer, chocolates, and wine to the turtle covers on the toilet bolts (too cute - and something I want to find for myself!).
A perfect place to stay, relax, and explore the Hilo side of the island.
As with any place in Hawai'i, there are roosters. The host provides a white noise machine that works to keep them from waking you. There are also coqui frogs - which we quite enjoy, but can be loud at night if you're not used to them. The white noise machine works to cancel their noise, too.
Wifi is strong, so digital nomads could work from here.
Definitely a 10/10.
