Planning for our honeymoon, this was our first place to stay. After a little bit of a communication lapse due to the host not having access to the Air BnB messaging, we got all the info we needed.

We got in kind of late, and wandered around trying to figure out how to get in, but before too long, Megan found us and helped us to get situated. She made sure we had bug spray for the mosquitoes and half and half for our coffee. We felt welcome and like we were in good hands.

The location is brilliant. At one point, we were meeting a friend for dinner at a nearby restaurant. I stepped out the door, saw him at the hostess station at the moment he saw me, and we waved. The farmer's market is similarly close.

Architecturally, this place is stunning. The attention to detail and intention with every aspect of the flow is masterful, right down to the fragrant orchid arching over the toilet. The outdoor shower is beautiful and the courtyard is also a cozy spot. The bed is very comfortable and huge. The pillows were great. The wifi was easy to access and worked quite well.

Casper is also a good host and gracefully accommodated the few requests we had. Both Casper and Megan were warm and helpful without being intrusive. Their demeanor was perfect.

If we come back to Hilo, this place will definitely be on the top of our list.
