Carrie's place is exactly as described, absolutely gorgeous, peaceful and serene, with beautiful views of Hilo Bay. It's far enough out of town to feel like you're a world away from quaint downtown Hilo, yet it's only a short drive away for all its conveniences. Carrie and Hugh are warm and welcoming, and have great local tips to share. Carrie left gardenias, wine and fruit for me--such thoughtful touches to an already perfect place. I'll be back for sure!
