I can't say enough good things about Mick and Jane's place. They went out of their way to be as welcoming as possible, leaving us some tasty local snacks and giving us tours of the pony barn. It's clear that the hosts are in the Airbnb game to share the beauty of the big island and get to know their guests, not just to turn a profit. The location is perfect for all kinds of day trips, from the green sand beach to Volcano National Park to Hilo to the summit of Mauna Kea. The ohana is beautiful - it has a full size kitchen and a big TV with a good selection of DVDs. Drinking Angel's coffee and eating breakfast on the lanai every morning was magical. The ponies made the place even better - they are so friendly and there are babies in the summertime. I can't recommend this place enough. We'll definitely be back!
