Rob, Bob, and their cottage was the best. I am so glad I took the time to visit this side of the island. They offered me an early arrival as there was not someone in the evening before, and they greeted me with a handmade lei!

I loved the banana motif all over the house; from the soap, pillows, furniture, art, it really was charming. The house itself was very comfortable; the kitchen had everything I needed to make meals, the living room was great to relax and nap in, the bed was uber comfortable, and the outdoor shower was to die for especially after being out in the water and sun. I really enjoyed and appreciated the guide book to the house and the area. I was able to hit many of the stops they have suggested. Walking on the lava fields near Uncle Roberts, the Kapoho tide pools, and the warm ponds were my favorite on the list.

The house was about an hour away from the Volcano and I was able to go up and watch the sunset and be back at a reasonable hour. Plus being serenaded to sleep by the sounds of birds, frogs and geckos was relaxing and put me to sleep fast. If you're looking for a place away from it all or want a central place to explore the Hilo and Volcano areas, STAY HERE. Thank you guys for a wonderful stay, I hope to be back again someday!
