We stayed in Steve's Tropical "Jungalow" while exploring Hilo and Pahoa. The place was awesome! There are so many places to sit both inside and on the lanais. The windows are screened so bugs weren't a problem. The location and property were beautiful and it felt very private. We loved walking down to the ocean cliffs at Maku'u Point to watch the sunrise. The place was very clean and wasn't too hot at night when the windows were open. The roosters can be kind of loud early in the morning. The cats on the property were very friendly. I really liked the orange cat!
Steve was a very nice, responsive host. We'd love to stay in his place again!
