We loved Nicole's place! The house is very cute, clean, with everything you need and dry while being located in a rainforest. The snack bars and coffee were a nice touch, the bed was comfortable and the dehumidifier kept the bathroom warm and towels dry. The lanai is large and covered and a peaceful place to have breakfast or lunch. The covered parking space is also helpful. The food options in the area are a bit limited but we enjoyed Tuk-Tuk Thai Food Truck which we recommend calling and ordering ahead of time for pick up as they sell out quickly. The location was a perfect base for exploring Volcanoes National Park, Papakōlea Green Sand Beach, Punaluu Black Sand Beach with lots of turtles and Hilo for Hilo Farmers Market, Hawai‘i Tropical Bioreserve & Garden, Hamakua Chocolate Farm and beaches (Carlsmith and Richardson) which are suitable for swimming. Overall, this is a great place!
