I can't say enough how much I enjoyed my stay at this property. As you can probably see in other reviews, yes the neighboring property has roosters, and yes they do make a fair amount of noise. The property owner was extremely up front about it, and made sure multiple times prior to booking and when confirming that I was aware. I stayed for 2 weeks, even having work calls during the sunrise timeframe, and the roosters in no way bothered me. If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs, and you shouldn't have a problem. I had no difficulty sleeping. Trust me, the lovely rental and beautiful property far outweigh any noise you might hear.
The property owner was fantastic, communicated frequently, and was very accommodating. The property is well equipped, private, and an easy drive to everything you will want to do in the Hilo area. It is on the same property as a family home, however it is not attached to the home and the many lovely windows face out to the expansive yard and serene setting. The living area is surrounded on 3 sides by windows with sliding doors that you can open up to feel like your own tropical oasis!
I love to cook, and the kitchen had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable, and the living room was a great place to hang out and relax.
I visit Hilo every year, and have stayed in several vacation rentals in the area. This one is a gem! I will definitely look for this place again the next time I am in Hilo.
