Jim's place is a tropical paradise. Beautiful koi pond in the backyard that my 2 kids (10 and 9 y.o) could not get enough of the tadpoles, micro frogs, toads, variety of fish. He also has a variety of great games that my kids enjoyed, did not miss having a TV. Place is clean and lovely, and fans provided nice breeze since no AC. Also no dryer but clothes line with the fans dried our clothes well. Location of the house is terrific for all locations near Hilo, and going to Akaka falls, botanical gardens, and volcano national park. Couldn't have asked for a better location and stay, Jim even provided fresh fruits and veggies and sent us off with freshly baked blueberry scones. Thanks again Jim!
