This is the place to stay! It’s close to the ocean. You’re walking distance to shipman beach that has a nice trail to the ocean. The house is clean. Well decorated. And, because it’s high up, you can totally sit on the balcony with almost no mosquitoes bothering you since the mosquitos tend to fly closer to the ground. I really enjoyed my stay here for a week. It’s not too far from Hilo about half hour and also half hour to Pahoa. I fell asleep to the sounds of the rain and the frogs. There’s wild orchids everywhere on the property. The neighbors were mellow and their two dogs Napoleon and Lilly are super sweet and friendly. The house has everything you need if you want to cook. Pieces of my heart healed while being here in ways I can’t even describe. Highly recommend staying here.
