This is an absolutely amazing spot - overlooking the town of Hilo you can see the endless ocean. The backyard has such an amazing view of the sunrise and sunset and at night you can really get a feel for the island with the sounds of nature all around you.
Kathy is such a kind and gracious host and she also has the cutest dog! - she gave us tips on the area and what things are around town - be sure to check out Kaumana caves they are super close by! Not to mention black sand beaches, snorkeling and some amazing food!
We really appreciated the time she took every day to check on us and make sure we were having fun which was super sweet and endearing - it really gave you that Ohana feeling.
If you're looking to explore Hawaii and get to know the island - this is where you want to be.
Mahalo for the wonderful time Kathy!
