Finding the proper superlatives to describe this wonderful place is difficult but I'll try. Hosts Bob and Kady have created a slice of paradise that is a rare find in a vacation rental. In 25 years and over three dozen rentals, this stands out as the best. The grounds are a working orchard with five acres of well-manicured vegetation of all kinds surrounded by natural beauty and a glorious view of the blue Pacific. An expected bonus is Lilly, their friendly Frisbee-obsessed Border Collie.
The cottage is extremely clean with upscale appointments everywhere and restricted to couples which, for us, is a good thing. You are not far off the Hawaii Belt Highway and 11 miles north of Hilo with all its urban amenities; close but not too close. Bob and Kady are nearby if you need local guidance and are very attentive without being intrusive.
We're accustomed to photos over-selling a property. The photos in this listing don't do it justice. It's so beautiful and perfect that you'll just have to take our word for it and experience yourself.
