Amazing retreat! Adorable two bedroom very private cottage was so wonderful to live like a local and immerse yourself in the tropical feel of Hilo. We spent an enjoyable five days here And I was able to have my coffee with the geckos on the porch every morning. They are so fun to watch. I really enjoyed listening to all of the birds and watching them flip from branch to branch as well as the rain at night. The home is clean and very well-maintained. It even had a French press coffee maker. The host is wonderful and offered tons of tips and tricks to make our trip more enjoyable. I cannot say enough about this property and host!
