This is a great little house that is very close to town. If I were headed back to Hilo, I would check this place for availability first! It's very cute, nicely stocked, comfortable beds, and helpful information about things to do in the area. It's not a fancy resort-type place but it had an "old Hawaii" feel and was very warm, which we loved. We didn't need the air conditioner at all - the open windows, breezes, and fans kept us plenty cool. We also loved the cute little geckos that ran as soon as they spotted us!
