Maria and Steve’s place was perfect for us. They provided everything we needed, and we felt safe staying there.
We enjoyed the peacefulness of the location. We heard the birds in the morning and the coqui frogs at night, along with evening relaxing rain. We felt sleep without no problems with the sounds of nature at night, needless to say the bed was very comfortable.
The location was key and perfect for us, only 3 miles from the airport (in fact, we have never arrived so quickly from landing, picking luggage, taking a taxi to Airbnb location before in our lives. From landing to Steve greeting us 40”) Around 26 miles (aprox 45”) to volcano park, 3 miles to Hilo town (aprox 10”) and walking distance to a couple of local beaches. Also close to roads that took us to hike to green and black sand beaches, as well as to roads that lead us to see the waterfalls.
We enjoyed our conversations with Steve and Maria, specially when she shared her knowledge of the plants they have in their property. Which was an added bonus for us. Every day we admired the vegetation there while sipping our morning coffee on the lanai. Maria also shared some of the fruit that they harvested on their property. We particularly loved the lychee. It was delicious!
They were easy and fast to reach when we needed some info.
Thank you for the good time! Mahalo!
