James and Jocelyne were great hosts. Their home is spacious and in a great location. Right across from a beach where you can lay out and snorkel (they also have snorkeling gear you can use), just 10 mins from Hilo town and about 1.5 hours from the volcanoes. At night it's quiet and private and you can fall asleep to the relaxing sound of the waves and birds outside. Everything you'll need is provided - towels, toiletries, kitchen supplies.
While I didn't get to meet my hosts, they were very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. They even brought us a pineapple which was a nice touch :)
