Our stay was quite pleasant and certainly met or exceeded expectations. The weather was not always conducive for being outdoors, but the location and amenities in the beach house were great. Communication with Marin was great and there was a keen interest on her part to improve the house to suit guests.
Although the weather can be overcast on the Hilo side, the rain always passes. We usually woke early to go out on the beach to enjoy views over Hilo bay right up to the snow-covered top of Mauna Loa. Amazing.
