If you stay here, you will remember the first time walking up the stairs and seeing/hearing the ocean through the large bedroom windows. The ocean view is gorgeous; we saw pods of spinner dolphins cross right in front of the house twice in 3 days! Location was convenient to all Hilo attractions. The cleaning fee is one of the highest we have encountered, basically the full cost of a night’s stay, so just make note it is a huge addition (we paid $400). Bed was comfortable. Washer and dryer was convenient for beach/hiking days.
