What a fun place to stay! My husband and I stayed one night at Rhea and Alden's before hopping on a plane at Hilo airport and just loved it. Rhea was incredibly communicative, personable and engaging. The unit was very clean and comfortable and a great place to be able to see the black sand beach (with thermal pools), volcanoes national park at night and some of the Hilo beaches. Her breakfast of locally sourced foods was DELICIOUS (we ate every crumb). We dubbed it our "little jungle oasis". Such a lovely and unique experience!
