What a beautiful place! The interior was recently redone - beautifully decorated. The a/c was perfect for the days that needed it. Kaleo made us feel so welcome and special - fresh flowers, cookies and coffee waiting for us. She was always quick to reply if we had questions and so pleasant to talk to. The house is well set up for cooking with everything you'd need but the restaurants are so close, you can walk to a few of them and we hardly cooked. The proximity to the water was amazing - we brought our own kayaks so we were out almost every morning - so nice to be on Hilo Bay. The best part for us was sitting on the lanai - a huge deck that is perfect for gathering, especially during covid distancing. We ate every meal out there - the view is so pretty and the breeze made even the hottest days comfortable. We hope to be back soon!
