This was a beautiful home to stay during our trip to the big island. We especially liked being part of the local community on the Hilo side instead of the touristy (and expensive) west coast around Kona. Seeing active lava flows from Kilauea Ike, the recent flows of the east rift, Mauna Kea sunset at the telescope observatories, and hike down to black sands beach at Polulu Valley were some of the highlights for us. Staying at a fully furnished home was so much nicer than any hotel!
