This place is absolutely beautiful! It is true as others have mentioned that the pictures do not do it justice - it is very large and the bedrooms and bathrooms are immaculate. We changed many plans the week we were here to spend more time on the lanai watching the waves roll in. It was so relaxing! In the mornings when it was hotter without a breeze, we ate breakfast in the covered porch between the two buildings. There’s even an above ground pool which we didn’t realize. It was too hot to use it in August for us but would be enjoyable in the winter!
While staying here, we easily visited Volcano National Park, Botanical Gardens, Akaka and Rainbow waterfalls. We loved eating in Hilo at Pineapples restaurant, it was delicious! And, if you continue north on the street from this home, there is an absolutely stunning drive up the coast!
We will be back if we find ourselves on the Big Island again - this is a MUST stay! Highly recommend!
