This is a truly special place to stay. The cottage is full of unique, memorable touches and the lounging area (outdoor kitchen, jacuzzi, pool) gives the experience a private resort feel. Suzie and Scott were incredibly nice and welcoming - they provided local tips and resources while being very respectful of my space. Plus, people always told me it was rainy on the Hilo side of the island. While it did rain in Hilo most days of my trip, the Southern/coastal area of Suzie and Scott's home is known for having a window in the sky through the clouds that has a microclimate of its own. This was a huge bonus - gave me beach days and starry nights while it was raining just a 30 minute drive away. Highly recommend. Until next time!
