Amazing oceanfront views, we loved waking up to the coffee and tea on the deck every morning for sunrise. The house was a great basecamp for our family of 4 with two teenagers. The house is well equipped and had a beautiful welcome basket when we arrived. It is in a great quiet neighborhood. There is not much in direct proximity. We did LOVE the hike to the Haena beach, tons of turtles and sand (hard to find). Our favorite grocery store was in Pahoa and our favorite breakfast spot (The Tinroof Bakery) ~10 miles away. We day tripped most days to waterfalls, volcanos, and Hilo. This side of the island feels like "real" Hawaii, Mike and Bo's house was a great way to start and end our days.
One thing to note is that while you are right on the ocean, there is no ocean access. This is true for much of the Hilo side of the island, so not a knock on the house but rather the nature of the location.
