Cody and Nicole’s place really was perfect for us. The location is about 15 minutes up the coast from Hilo, which we actually ended up preferring over staying in Hilo. It is very calm and quiet(from a human traffic perspective, the damn coqui frogs are another story). The beddings and aesthetic touches are all very quality, akin to a very nice boutique hotel. Their breakfast nook is well stocked with good food and perfect when you want to wake up and get going, but if you decide you want to get breakfast somewhere within walking distance there is a bakery and a little cafe, plus some local shops. My girlfriend and I have stayed in a lot of different places, but this definitely up there among our favorites. Great job Cody and Nicole.
P.S. Check out the Tropical Bioreserve Botanic Garden just down the road. It’s truly amazing!
