Suzy's lovely home was the perfect place to explore the Hilo side of the island. It is off the beaten path down a dirt road. About 10min from Ke'eau and Pahoa (2 local towns with lots of local flavor) and just under a half hour to Hilo. Feeding the geckos everyday and listening to the cacophony of frogs each night was a real treat. We used Suzy's roller cooler, boogie boards and pool noodles for beach days. Her home was the perfect fit for our small family of 3. Relaxing living room with nice TV. Small but functional kitchen. We made fresh fruit smoothies several days with the blender. We prepared nearly every meal at home and enjoyed eating them on the lanai overlooking the beautiful jungle backyard. Feeding the Java Sparrows, Zebra Doves and Saffron Finches with the provided bird seed was so much fun. Would absolutely stay here again!
