Steve and Su were great hosts and we felt welcome and at ease. Breakfast was good. The pool was refreshing and their yard with the koi pond and waterfalls was beautiful and relaxing. Only gave 4 stars for cleanliness because the quilt and pillow shams on the bed were in need of washing. 4 stars for accuracy because it was more than just a "few" steps from the beach....and there were lots of actual steps. The beach was not as accessible as the description "steps to beach and surf" implies. If in Hilo in the future we would definitely stay their again.
