This was a wonderful property located on a cliff overlooking the Pacific ocean on the Hilo side of the big island. Check in was smooth and the space felt clean. I appreciated the management team texting me day of to let us know that everything was ready and make sure that we had everything. Everything was comfortable (esp the beds) and it was the perfect retreat. I particularly appreciated the heavy use of labels to explain what switch turned on which light. Do read the instructions for the house. I had missed the "no A/C" thing and it's been awhile since I lived without A/C. However, I didn't really miss it because the cross breezes were so soothing and the house cooled down once we opened up the windows / doors on either side of the house. Also, checkout is at 10 a.m. I thought it was 11 for no good reason, so please be smarter than me!The neighborhood seems quiet, nice, and safe. The house is about 5 miles from the main road, so make sure you pick up groceries on the way there. The Foodland is good, but the Mālama Market Pahoa was fancier. There are (invasive) coqui frogs chirping away in the underbrush that were very charming at night. The Hilo side isn't as developed as the Kona side, but there are still some standout food options. I'd recommend two sisters for really good mochi treats (call in an order ahead b/c there's a line), the Kuhio Grille for the best laulau I've ever had, and Temple Kitchen Bar for drinks and snacks (with vegetarian options).
