Modern 2 bedrooms apt. - Seashell One

The location of the unit was great in terms of being close to everything we needed - beach, restaurants, stores, etc. Cleanliness was fine and the host was very responsive in all communication. This property worked well for us - but only because we also had the upper unit of this home booked as well. The noise level from people walking upstairs is pretty loud in this unit. Since it was our family and we were aware of each other's quiet times needed, it worked ok. It might be more difficult, however, if strangers were in the upstairs unit.

Interesting place. We new there was no sink in the "kitchen" but it was still interesting. Please change the entry code for each new guest. We had the prior guest walk in on us shortly after we arrived. Quite the surprise. We were staying in Kona for two weeks and made the trip around the island to go to the volcano national park and only stayed here one night. Was exactly what we needed. While the directions were good the place is very tricky to find the first time you come in. We figured it out though. Thanks also for the help with our reservation which we screwed up - but they were able to work some magic and get us in when we needed.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There were four of us staying in the apartment, which was very clean and spacious. We appreciated having two bathrooms, and the location was truly convenient. Being able to wake up in the middle of the night to see the volcano erupt was a special experience. We did notice that the kitchenette did not have a sink making cleaning dishes awkward, and the beds were a very firm. Additionally, the futon wasn't comfortable enough to serve as a fourth bed. Nonetheless, we truly appreciated our time there and enjoyed our stay overall.

Convenient location to go to the volcano We only stayed for one day, but it was fantastic. The location was near everything we wanted to do. The place was very clean and spacious.

Odd layout but adequate This ground floor unit forms part of a single family converted house. Two additional rental units are upstairs. The owner seems to rent out two identical houses across the driveway as well.Pros: central location, spacious, clean, responsive host.Cons: located just off of a main road with lack of any real signage makes finding the unit each time tricky. Living room "curtains" at the front and rear are satin / see-through so lack privacy. The house lacks sound insulation so normal steps upstairs sound like a stampede of elephants. Kitchenette has 4 cereal bowls, 3 spoons, 2 forks, 1 knife (and no plates). Dishwashing is to be done in the small bathroom sink that lacks a counter top. White tile flooring literally everywhere quickly attracts dirt.We would not stay here again.

Hilo Great location for visiting Hilo and surrounding area. Perfect size for two couples. Clean, easy to access, awesome host.
