Via's home is a literal tropical rainforest paradise. I can't swoon enough over the frog symphony at night, the wild boars quietly passing through the backyard at dawn, the slew of chickens meandering the yard, and the cats who replaced the laptop in my lap on slow mornings. Our children hunted for geckos (they're everywhere), and had such beautiful adventures and playtime with Via's lovely children.
Via's family is warm and incredibly helpful and responsive-- we would recommend this location to every family passing through who is looking for an oasis as a jumping off point for Volcano National Park & the beaches/snorkeling of Hilo. The house had everything we needed and more-- it was perfect for our family.
Thank you (and your lovely family) for the restorative stay, Via!
