Hawaii GE-067-950-7968-02 & TA-067-950-7968-01 The space The space is beautifully furnished, with much from Bali, a full kitchen with granite counters, Bosch range with convection oven, new huge SS fridge. It’s one flight of stairs up, with the entry opposite the large sauna. We also have a smaller separate studio space and a large one bedroom unit on the two lower floors that we sometimes rent out on Airbnb and sometimes keep for our own use or for visiting friends or family. You can inquire if you’re interested in more info on those, too, ideal for a group of friends or family traveling together but would also like some separate space. The yard is gorgeous, what really sold us on the property. You can feel like you’re deep in the jungle yet just minutes from all that downtown Hilo offers, restaurants, museums, groceries, etc., but also very near surf beaches, botanical gardens, etc. This listing is only occasionally available as it is now part of our own home. It is hosted & therefore exempt from Hawaii County STR registration (Bill 108). Hawaii GE-067-950-7968-02 & TA-067-950-7968-01 Guest access The yard and laundry (in the shared garage) are shared with us or other guests or tenants. Other things to note NOTE: Hawaii GE-067-950-7968-02 & TA-067-950-7968-01 This rental is hosted with us living on-site now & per Hawaii County Planning Dept is exempt from Hawaii County Bill 108 so we may occasionally consider legal shorter than 30 day rentals, too, but prefer just longer term or leaving the space open for our use. The river and waterfall are a short walk away. It is not on our property, but access is allowed. We endeavor to keep the path clear of growth, but be advised this is Hawaii, things grow fast here! It is difficult to keep up. Also, if it has been raining a lot, the path will be muddy and slippery. It starts at a steep incline and then flat from there. Welcome to Hawaii, land of spectacular beauty that makes you work for it :) Registration number TA-067-950-7968-01 GE-067-950-7968-02
