The host was very welcoming and easy to coordinate with. They escorted us to the property since we were arriving at night and gave us a great intro to the cottage. The cottage has all the amenities you may need (including a comfortable bed). The property is remote with only the sounds of the coqui frogs. However, the nearby towns including Hilo are easily accessible. The cottage is cozy with some DVD'S, a nice book collection and a ukelele to strum while hanging out. Pack head lamps and car chargers for your cell phones, and do not hesitate to make this place home for your big island getaway.
