Wow - what a wonderful slice of paradise!!!!
Jim the friendly next door neighbour helped us to settle in, sharing his local knowledge and tips for great places to visit. He also gave us push bikes to use during our stay. The home is spacious and clean with a beautiful wrap-around verandah, allowing you to swing in the hammock, read, snooze or just enjoying the view. The house is stocked with absolutely anything you could possibly want - we really didn't want for anything. There are several amazing water parks within easy walking (or biking) distance where you can enjoy the warm, turquoise water, with turtles swimming around you. Our days consisted of visiting the volcano both at the peak and then driving down to a carpark where you leave your car and can then choose to either walk, or we chose to ride a bike, to where the lava meets the ocean at night, driving to green sands beach and another day north along the coast line, swimming in fresh water pools and the local water parks ....... then back home to just chill on the lovely verandah..... Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a stress-free, relaxing place to stay in Hilo. Thanks Scott and Jim :)
