The location is across the street from Richardson Beach park an awesome place for snorkeling and some boogie boarding. It's a locals favorite. We swam everyday. Hilo farmers market and restaurants are close by and a highlight of our stay. The house had plenty of room for the 5 of us. 2 bathrooms nice. WiFi, washer/dryer, kitchen were very nice. The large family room was a nice place for us to gather in the evening. The owners were very good communicators and helpful.
