We loved the place and the breakfast made it really feel welcoming! Kristin was an exceptional host, and gave us suggestions for what to do during the day. The place was clean and modern, the bed was comfy, and the shower was luxe.
I was initially worried about mosquitos coming in through the unfinished room, but this turned out to be a nonissue. The roof is well sealed and we didn’t encounter bugs at all.
We spent the first day in the national park, which was enough time to cover the whole thing. The next day, we went to Hilo — highly recommend the Kaumana caves, but make sure you bring a flashlight!
