Tranquility nestled in a beautiful neighborhood.

Margarita and Kevin are genuinely warm hosts. They live just a minute away from this property. This bungalow is airy, spotless, and completely relaxing. You'll only hear coqui frogs and the rain, not cars. I was pleasantly surprised at the absence of insects inside. I found many rentals on the Big Island with poorly-maintained screens and windows.

The surrounding area is full of lush vegetation interspersed with lovingly maintained houses. I recommend a morning walk to Rainbow Falls and its café, if you don't mind the four mile round-trip journey. Better yet, drive over and swim the more isolated and rugged beauty of Boiling Pots.

I was in Hilo for business, and when M&K found out it was my birthday, they took me on a tour of Big Island Candies, and even gave me a gift!. They have strong grandparenting instincts.

I'll be back!
