If you're planning to visit the Hilo side of the island and want to be a little outside the city definitely check out David's place! It's about 30 miles south of Hilo within walking distance of the ocean. The house is beautifully constructed and has a cohesive design throughout. It was like spending a night at a museum, but in a beautiful house. One of my favorite parts of the house aside from the massive bathrooms and bedrooms was the lanai, especially in the morning. The lanai looks out to the tropical landscape and to the ocean. Due to the isolated location of the house make sure to stock up on food and drinks. Also there is limited cell signal in the area, however there is good WiFi. If you're a light sleeper you may want to bring earplugs because you will likely hear the Coquí throughout the night. Personally I found the sound of the Coquí to be very calming. Overall our stay in the Hilo side of the island was a memorable one!
