The views from the Lanai are incredible--we managed to catch a few whales in the early morning. The location is wonderfully quiet and private (only about a mile from the Botanical Gardens) while being only a short drive to downtown Hilo. We loved having an Ohana house to allow the kiddos to nap quietly. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. I would recommend a 4x4 vehicle that can handle a rougher road as the driveway is made of larger gravel pieces with grade. Steve and his handyman Lester were fantastically communicative during our stay and took care of any issues right away. We would definitely book another stay!!!
