The location and views are as described in the property listing, and both are breathtaking. The cabin is spacious and homely, and the orchards are beautiful. Being so close to nature means you are sharing the space, inside and out, with geckos; we didn’t mind them and found them cute. Be prepared for noisy nighttime chirping by coqui frogs! We enjoyed the proximity to the black-sand beach in the Waipi’o Valley, Akaka Falls, Hilo and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
