Every now and then, in life, I have stumbled onto something magical and remarkable. Our experience with Joy and Michael (Mike) is one such experience.
When they say truly unique, it’s an understatement. The accommodations are comfortable and well planned. Joy and Mike are welcoming and warm. There are artistic, sometimes whimsical, touches everywhere you look. Our unit was enhanced with local and beautiful flowers. Every need is anticipated; supplies are abundant and generous. There’s even a Vitamix in the unit. The lanai is elegant, large and welcoming as well.
I had some concerns about being adjacent to someone’s home. Not only were they completely unjustified, but the polar opposite. We learned about Hawaiian history and culture and experienced first hand some of the Island’s natural beauty. The sights and sounds and essence of Hilo was enhanced by our stay here.
The location is south of Hilo and provides excellent access in both directions to wondrous sights such as the Volcano National Park and the World Botanical Garden. Being outside of Hilo gave us a respite from our busy day-to-day life. It usually takes a few days to unwind from our hectic City life. By then our vacation is half over. But not here. Right away, we felt serenity envelop us.
Thank you Joy and Mike for a lovely Hawaiian experience.
