A delightful little Hawaiian hale (house)! Living space on the second floor made for wonderful breezes, complete with a peek of the ocean from the covered lanai. Sparkling clean and well-appointed living space, including laundry facilities. Lovely walk through residential neighborhood down to the ocean--no beach, but beautiful views, some tide pools to explore; saw whales, noddies (birds) and nene geese. Centrally located between Hilo (our favorite Hawaiian town), Hawaii Volcano National Park and Puna area (great bike riding along Red Road still available after recent lava flow, which is fascinating to see as well). Hosts Cynthia and Marcus Moody were great to work with! Highly recommend this accommodation!
