Maria and Steve are a couple of the nicest people we've met. The spacious Bungalo that we had in the back was surrounded by gorgeous greenery. It was lovely being in such natural surroundings. We wanted for nothing while we were there as Steve and Maria were so accommodating. Close to beautiful beaches that you can swim with the turtles. Only 3 1/2 miles from town and close to restaurants but we cooked in the full kitchen that was there. Yes there was rain but there was also lots of sunshine and its a very close access point to different activities like the ride the rim and hiking the volcanic national Park and then biking to the lava flow. Lots to do and see around Hilo. We would recommend is Airbnb to anyone who's looking for a lovely getaway.
