This house is beautiful, and in a quiet, gorgeous setting just blocks from the ocean. It's not too far from Hilo which was convenient for groceries and it's quaint downtown shops. It's also only about 45 min from Volcanoes NP! The space is great for families and the kitchen amenities allowed us to cook plenty of meals. The lack of AC did not bother us at all as it does cool down in the evening. It was clean with plenty of towels and Joan was attentive and available! Mahalo for offering an affordable, local experience for those of us who prefer that.
