What a wonderful place! The oceanfront view is spectacular....you can greet the sunrise on the lanai with your morning coffee and fall asleep to the sound of lapping waves at night. We stayed there over the Christmas holidays so we did not get to meet James and Jocelyne in person as they were out of town, but we spoke by phone and they had everything arranged for us when we arrived including a thoughtful basket of snacks. Their cozy cottage is well equipped, and it's an easy 2 mile drive into the center of Hilo. Would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Hilo.
