This house is gorgeous. Spacious, beautifully furnished, and with a wonderful view. We saw dolphins in the ocean from our lanai, it was magic. We spend all our awake time on the lanai, very comfortable, even when raining (yes, it rains often on the Hilo side, this is why the setting is so green!). Great location, quiet and secluded yet very close to Hilo, and half way between the south and north of the coast. Perfect! The house has everything you need, from beach chairs, snorkeling equipment and cooler boxes, to shampoo and soap in every bathrooms, plenty of towels and extra bed sheets and blankets, and more. We met our host one time who brought us a big bag of lychees directly from the farm (and we love lychees!). Thank you Steve and Mahalo for sharing this house, we will come back!
