Our stay at "Your Makanella" was a wonderful experience. The home is beautiful, eclectic, and kept in great shape. It is located on two acres of property and has an amazing view of dense jungle and Hilo Bay. The terrace is the perfect place to watch the sun come up in the morning or relax at the end of the day. It is especially great that the terrace is completely screened in to keep out any mosquitoes.

Delia was a great host who showed us around the place when we arrived to make sure we knew the ins and outs. She also included some eggs, coffee, and a few other things for the first morning's breakfast. There is a large jackfruit tree growing right outside of the terrace and one morning Delia gave us a fruit from it and showed us how to cut the jackfruit open and eat it.

It's worth noting that the location is fairly rural, so there are some very noisy Coqui frogs that chirp at night. Apparently they are not indigenous to Hawaii, but are everywhere and so they will be around no matter where you go. I didn't mind the chirping though.

I would definitely recommend "Your Makanella" to anyone looking for a neat, eclectic place to stay.
