We had a wonderful stay at Pepe’s place during Labor Day weekend while attending a volleyball tournament in Hilo for our high school daughter. The property is absolutely gorgeous and exudes a serene, zen-like atmosphere. We particularly enjoyed the lovely ponds and watching the koi swim gracefully.
The location was perfect for us—each morning, we took a short walk across the street to enjoy the beautiful beaches and lagoons. The house was well-equipped for our five-day stay, and the AC units in the bedrooms kept us comfortably cool at night, ensuring a great night's sleep.
Traveling with our young adult kids (ages 18-20), we appreciated the two separate bedrooms and bathrooms apart from the main house. It offered them a bit more privacy, which they really enjoyed.
One thing to note is that the street can get busy in the afternoons and evenings, as people cruise the strip. The nearby beach also becomes quite lively with locals enjoying their time and playing music. We ended up making some new friends and even shared a few beers with the locals, which added a fun, spontaneous element to our trip!
Overall, Pepe’s place was a fantastic choice for our stay, and we highly recommend it.
