Maria & Steve's place was great. Although only a few minutes by car from downtown Hilo, the rural feel of the area was just what we needed for a quiet get away. There are several beaches within easy walking distance, including one of the best snorkelling spots on the Hilo side of the island. The place itself was huge and very well equipped. Maria and Steve were great hosts and the fresh from the tree papayas were a lovely breakfast. Thanks for everything.
