Josenia has a wonderful, clean, breezy home on the north east shore of Hawaii. The views of the ocean are unobstructed and absolutely awesome! Her place is conveniently located right off the route 19 beltway just south of Hanokaa and "YPO" valley. Hilo is about 35 miles south, Hanokaa 7 minutes north. The East side of the big Island is very lush. It is full of waterfalls, forests, and small towns. If you are looking to explore the east/north east side of Hawaii, Jo's place is a perfect location. What we liked most is that we felt like we were "living" in Hawaii, not just tourists in a motel. Jo has lived on the big island for most of her life, she knows Hawaii. She is a wonderful host and a great resource for all things big island.
