We split our week on the Big Island and started with 3 nights on the “Hilo side” in Charles’s place. The location was perfect for exploring the local sights, from Volcanoes National Park to the waterfalls, and everything in between. The cottage was very nice, clean, and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning kept it cool at night and we slept well. We would stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a conveniently located place on the eastern side of the Big Island!
