We had a wonderful stay at Rene and Bill place in Puhoa. Firstly the location is great if you are looking for a true getaway retreat, its super quite and relaxing, with the feeling of living in the jungles. Its within few minutes drive to the village which you'll find great local eateries, and about 30min too Hilo downtown. The house is very spacious and clean, and the garden is full of lush tropical plants. The house is also fully equipped with TV, stereo, and internet, and all the cooking wears. We definitely recommend this place for visitor to the Hilo side of the island.
