10/10 Excellent
"We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and found the perfect stay. We live on Hilo side and this home was a perfect fit. So spacious, clean and relaxing with a pool. It’s in the perfect place between the best beaches and Kona town. We had a great time and it’s in a great quiet neighborhood. We will definitely be coming back for another staycation!"
