My bf and I thoroughly enjoyed our 5 days stay there. The location is in the middle of everything, so it was our home base while we explored the Northshore, Hilo and the Volcano National Park. We felt safe driving in the area as well. The place was as described but the hosts went above and beyond with their hospitality! We enjoyed chatting with them and learned so much about Big Island living. We highly recommend and would gladly come back!
