We stayed 4 nights at Tin Shack. Good location, rooms were spacious and comfortable with great pillows and linens. All bathroom necessities provided and AC worked well. Bonus was relaxing in a super clean hot tub and also the cute front porch patio with nature and wildlife to enjoy over coffee.We did experience some pesky sugar ants in the kitchen (yes, it is a tropical island) so didn't do much cooking.

Pros: beautiful house, great views, hot tub, lots of appliances and kitchenware for cooking, big bedrooms, huge upstairs bathroom, amazing plants, trees and creatures (snail, geckos, birds, and coqui frogs) on the property, a/c worked well throughout the house, on-site laundry, good parking, close to Paradise Cliffs which you can park at and walk on the trail. Nice to have our family of 5 (included 2 teenagers and a 9 year old) to have their own bed and the room upstairs get like two bedrooms as it was so big with bunk bed on one end and a full size on the other. Cons: stayed at other places and would like to have a more stocked kitchen with spices and such but did have some basics, the bed in the main bedroom wasn’t a king size bed (it was small for my wife and I but was comfortable), not convenient location to the grocery store (it was 18 minutes away) and about 25 minutes or so from Hilo. We made a day of it so wasn’t bad and we knew to meet our needs with our family we had to choose a place away from Hilo. The coqui frogs were loud but they had ear plugs on the nice stands and we use sound machines and couldn’t hear anything. Overall it was a great place to stay and would stay there again.

Spacious, Peaceful, and Ideal for Families - with Aloha!

We absolutely loved our stay at this VRBO and would return in a heartbeat! Despite the previous guests leaving a mess and causing a few minor issues, the owner went above and beyond to have everything ready and comfortable for us right away. Their responsiveness and care made all the difference.The home itself was one of the most peaceful places we stayed during our time in Hawaii. The upstairs had a spacious master suite and a perfect kids' room - complete with toys, books, kid-sized chairs, cozy bunk beds, and even a queen bed. The downstairs bedroom was equally great, with convenient access to the hot tub.Families with little ones will appreciate all the baby gear provided (high chair, baby bath, pack & play, activity seat, and more). The kitchen was well-equipped, and there was ample seating with a dining table and bar area. We spent hours relaxing on the upper balcony and lower deck, both offering beautiful breezes and natural light through screened sliding doors. Morning walks to the ocean with coffee in hand were a perfect start to each day.The decor was fresh and tasteful - not outdated like many other listings we considered. Honestly, we’re tempted to keep this gem a secret so it’s available when we return!
