I was attending meetings at UH Hilo so the location was excellent for me. The accommodations were modest and perfect for me.

We opted to stay in Hilo rather than the other side of the island where there are many resorts and more traffic. We had breakfast at the VRBO and then did fun day trips all over the island. The VRBO was clean, quiet and comfortable. We appreciated the reserved parking spot and option to do laundry. Shopping at Safeway and Walmart was convenient. We also really enjoyed the Hilo farmer's market.

We visited Hawaii National Volcano Park, Punalu’u Black Sand Beach, Rainbow Falls, Kaumana Cave, Hawaiian Botanical Gardens and strolled through the Wailoa River State Park. Wishing we had planned an extra day to visit!

Good location. Should clarify laundry as to whether it is part of package. Done amenities like beach towels, extra blanket and small sharp knives would be good

Peaceful, quiet and beautiful. I enjoyed it so much. The garden was so nice to look at every day while drinking coffee and playing with the “sweetest” cat Intu! I loved the stay and would definitely come back.
