Experience Aloha *Hawaiian Style Hale*

This was our favorite house as we bounced around the big island.

The place was perfect, thanks Valerie!

The house is lovely. The host was very responsive to all communication before and during our stay. We would definitely stay there again.

We were very comfortable in this lovely, quiet home. Everything we needed was supplied. The bed was comfy and there was a well-equipped workout room. The location was about a 45 min. drive to Hilo, given the Merrie Monarch festival traffic. There were many things we wanted to do from the Pahoa location but we were there during a period of very heavy rains so instead we had indoor Hilo fun. Kilauea erupted when we were there but the highway was closed and we were unable to catch this incredible event. Communication with the owner and manager was excellent. All in all, a very good time!

We did enjoy our stay but I could see this being a bit of a problem house for some. It is a nice house and property but I think the grounds and outside could be a little tidier. As for the inside, it was cool to cold at times. We didn't find extra blankets except for on the other bed in the kids' room, the coffee maker was acting up, the hair dryer didn't work and just little details were missing.Overall it was a good stay because we don't require much. A good coffee maker so we could use the provided k-cups, a few blankets and perhaps a space heater or two would've been nice additions.Lastly, if we were to use any of the equipment for the beach we would've had to clean the mold off it all. Masks, snorkels and I am assuming everything else was covered! We didn't use any of it. This home seemed to have been forgotten a little bit.
