Three great things about this place - views, views, views! Bed was comfortable and lack of air-conditioning was not an issue due to mild winter climate of Hawaii. You can purchase farm fresh eggs from host which are delicious. Bed was comfortable and we also used pullover bed because we were four of us. We made sure the door is closed so that no mosquitoes found their way in. There are no shops around but the location is close enough to Hilo and we could drive to 20-30 minutes to get to any big marts. If you like rural quiet living, this is the place. The only noisy part is the feral roosters in the distance but you get used to it.
