Staying here you can expect complete privacy yet there is loads of helpful local information available if needed. The apartment is attached to the main house but it felt just as private, possibly even more secluded and than any condo or hotel we’ve stayed. Staying with Steve & Su felt as comfortable as our own home, and we are fairly picky about that sort of thing!
The space was styled beautifully, is very open and inviting. Also I might add it felt larger than I expected it to be judging by the photos. You will have your own private bathroom. There is no kitchen but Steve will make you a delicious breakfast so it really didn’t matter for us. They do provide a mini fridge. Also there is beautiful shared patio with a nice table we used to eat our take out a few times. The patio also has a view of the sea. It’s so close that you can hear the waves crash at night through the cheerful sound of tree frogs at night. Although the patio was shared it felt private and although the other room was booked we had it all to our selves on multiple occasions. The only time we saw the other couple was at breakfast.
The area is a peaceful sleepy neighborhood. You will be a short walk to the the ocean and in driving distance to the best hikes on the Big Island. Also it is less than 5 miles to Hilo. It is very conveniently located if you have a car ( I really can’t imagine not have a car on this island)!
To sum it up, we have been to the Hawaiian islands on quite a few trips and this B&B is by far our favorite place that we have stayed. Hoping to be back soon!
