Liz's place was amazing. We did not expect it to be quite that large. it was very welcoming and we had all we needed. The pictures are very accurate.

Liz's advice was really helpful as well. We had done some research before we headed to the Big Island, but her information was really helpful to find things to do or prioritize what we wanted to see.
We also really enjoyed the welcome package.

We had easy access to grocery stores, to Hilo, the Volcano Park, the Puna area (black sand beach, tide pools, etc), the northeast side of the island. We ended up going to Hilo's farmers market most days (the local fruits are amazing and we can't find these in Chicago!).

Coming "home" at night was soothing with the sound of the coquis (closing the windows at night make it very bearable even for a light sleeper like me). The kitchen is well equipped with new pots/pans.

I highly recommend Liz's place as a base camp (a really comfy one) for all your southeast activities! We did not want to leave.
