Richard is an amazing host! He's very communicative and quick to respond to any pre-trip questions and when we were there. He went above and beyond and really cares about his guests. He provides so much information about the area and things to do which was so helpful. The location is ideal right across from Richardson Beach Park and having snorkeling gear etc. on site was wonderful and a huge plus in our minds. The beach there is fabulous, great place to relax and perfect for kids. The house and grounds are quaint and and lovely. It's close to the airport and downtown Hilo yet far enough away that you don't hear air or town traffic and noise. The home was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. We'd recommend his rentals to others.
