Yuriko greeted us in the house when we arrived. The house is so wonderful and the pictures on the website just do not do its justice. With high ceiling and open plan, the house feels so spacious. The view outside the big lanai is amazing that I cannot help taking pictures every morning and evening. Yumiko decorated the house with the fresh flower arrangement she made, making it even more homey. The location is so convenient, close to all the shopping and restaurant. Given the three places I stayed between Maui and the Big Island, IPU HALE is the most beautiful and offers superb value. We just simply do not want to leave. Kona side of the Big Island has more fun than the Hilo side. Next time I definitely will spend more time on the Kona side and will definitely stay choose IPU HALE again. Thank you David and Yumiko!
