Simon & Jeri's place was a great, centrally located home base for our time on the east side of the Big Island. The four of us especially appreciated all the space, as well as the hospitable touches. Simon & Jeri responded quickly to messages and provided helpful tips. I suggest following their driving directions, as our phone recommended a different route involving a "highway" that, while fine during the day, felt too narrow at night. I also suggest bringing earplugs - always a good idea on an island with lots of chickens - in case the rooster next door is noisy. If your family is planning to explore Volcanoes National Park and Hilo, this is a comfortable, convenient, and well-priced place to stay.
