It was a delight to be hosted by Nani and her husband Joe at this property. They are personable, accommodating, and knowledgeable hosts, who are considerate of both your comfort and privacy. We definitely felt like we were in the real Hawaii, both in terms of the physical aspect of this property and the hospitality and kindness of Nani and Joe.
The property is spacious, comfortable, clean and welcoming. As well as being fully-equiped and self-contained (kitchen, laundry, parking, etc.), there were many thoughtful and personal touches that make it feel homely and unique.
The location is close to Hilo and the volcano, as well as the main highway and smaller communities. Keep in mind that this property is a ranch and (slightly) off-the-road - you'll love it if you appreciate being out of town and close to nature, which we obviously did. We could not have been happier with this experience.
