Great hosts and an excellent place to stay. Steve greeted us on arriving, was very helpful in planning our visit and an amazing host. location is perfect- on a fun beach but just minutes from downtown hilo. the beach is a local surf spot but also fun for boogie boards which steve loaned us. you can also go a short distance up the adjoining river on a boogie board to 2 facing waterfalls. if you want to explore them too bring good watersheds for the rocks at the end which are slippery.
beautiful house and garden. we enjoyed the hot tub at the end of each day.
breakfast was nice with papaya, bananas, yogurt, bagels, cereal.
the room itself is very large, well appointed and extremely clean.
definitely in the very top tiers of vacation rentals and a great local experience.
