James and Jocelyne's place is a great option if you're looking for something on the Hilo side of Big Island. It's very close to town (about a 10 minute drive to downtown Hilo), but just far enough to be a nice retreat, and it's right on the ocean. The place itself is a very well-maintained and stylish in-law unit across the lawn from their main house. That also makes it a nice private place, and it was perfect for the last night of my and my wife's honeymoon! James and Jocelyne made check-in and check-out super easy, and James was even able to provide some helpful local tips when we got there. And the best part is that it has a balcony/patio overlooking the ocean -- we kept the sliding door open overnight to let the ocean waves lull us to sleep! Highly recommend!!
