Our apartment was once Krisann’s bedroom. <br />We liked our apartment’s old windows, its comfortable kitchen, and its modern bathroom.<br />This was the childhood home of Krisann Santiago, a third-generation Big Islander, and descendant of grandparents who moved to the Big Island from Puerto Rico to work the sugar cane fields. Krisann and her Hilo-born husband, Samuel, modernized the home in 2019.<br />The couple and their grown son live next door and are friendly and gladly share the story of the home. <br />Krisann seemed to dance when talking about her love of the property, and wanting to share the aloha spirit of the land.<br /><br /><br />𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘: Our Home was built in 1941; we did do some upgrades; however, neither of our units is child-proof and is not suitable for children under the age of 4 and Infants. <br />Children must be supervised at all times. <br /><br />We will only accept reservations with these guidelines.
