Please know for anyone staying with Ted, Pauline and Keo, you will be amazed at their beautiful home and especially the huge bedroom that we always stay in as this was our second time in the Oasis I. The room is beautiful and extremely clean as well as being very affordable and you have the adjacent bathroom all to yourself! There are many amenities and what Ted does early in the morning, he makes sure there's nice fresh hot coffee waiting for you. Additionally, this family is considered a super host but in our opinion they go beyond being a super host, they make you feel like family that their home is your home and I was so pleasantly surprised as my birthday was May 10th and not only did they wish me a happy birthday but I woke up later that week before we left to go on another tour and there they were with the beautiful haupia cake and they even sang "Happy Birthday" to me! My husband and I were so touched and believe me this family will make your trip memorable, comfortable and leaving you with the desire to return time and time again as we have and we will in the future!!!
If you plan to stay on the Hilo side of the Big Island, we highly suggest staying at Ted's, Pauline's and Keo's home as it is perfectly located to Volcanoes National Park, many of the tours such as Mauna Kea Summit, many restaurants and even the farmers market downtown Hilo being a short drive.
Honestly, we have never found a better place to stay than with this precious family, so do yourself a favor next time you visit the big island and stay on the Hilo side book with Ted, Pauline and Keo!
