The exterior of the home is misleading because when you step inside, this beautiful home literally takes your breathe away. It is obvious that the owner's have taken extreme expense in accommodating their guests and making their stay a wonderful experience even down to their choice of shampoo and conditioner, which will be appreciated by anyone like myself who struggles with their hair in humid conditions! The description truly fits because this space is indeed a very "lovely home"! The rugs are plush and amazing on bare feet, the beds are comfortable, the linens and towels immaculate and luxurious and leave you not wanting for anything. There is also plenty of hot water and we never ran out. A hot shower is very welcome after a day in the rain forests that can get quite chilly. Hilo is also close by, as well as multiple beaches. We saw many sea turtles. We visited in mid May and did get munched on by mosquitoes while hiking and exploring, so bring repellent. The home, however, is clean, spacious, well lit and well decorated and no critters in sight at all during our stay. You can't go wrong staying at Simon & Jeri's place! Our entire group was impressed!
