Sharon and Mark have a beautiful private studio in a peaceful gorgeous location just 10 minutes from Hilo. The location gives you access not only to Hilo area but also Waip'o valley and northern areas if you want to explore. Less than an hour from volcano national park ( though the park is best if you stay in/around volcano for a couple of days. )
The place was super clean and well cared for. It has a private patio with view over fields to the sea. I wish we had stayed there longer. Communication with Amy , the property manager was prompt and clear, as were directions.
I would highly recommend!!
