Marcus and Cynthia are excellent hosts! They contacted us before our trip to pass on details, and were incredibly responsive and helpful during our stay. The house is immaculately clean and even more beautiful than the pictures. We had a wonderful weeks vacation, and even found fun activities to do in the rain! The house is in a great location between Hilo and Pahoa. It is an easy drive to Akaka Falls and activities north, as well as the Tide Pools and Volcanos Natiobal Park further south. We highly recommend this property and Marcus and Cynthis as fantastic hosts!
