From the minute we arrived at Susy's home we wanted to extend our stay! everything was so clean comfortable, you can tell she put so much thought into all the details that made it feel like home. The real star of the house is the backyard... it is a dream! We were immediately greeted by beautiful birds and gekos. It felt like we were in a secluded rainforest. We love just sitting on the lanai listening and taking it all in. The town is just a short 15 minutes away. Suzy's communication is excellent. If you want the perfect place to stay near Hilo off the beaten path, don't hesitate... book it!!
