This spot was exactly what I was looking for as a home base for my 9-day solo trip on the Big Island. Mark and Alex were wonderful hosts, and the studio apartment was even better than I expected. It seemed quite new, very clean, and was graced with thoughtful touches throughout that made for a wonderful stay there. It was easy to communicate with Mark and Alex, and I heartily recommend a stay there. The grounds are beautiful, and you'll be falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of nature around you, the perfect getaway. Location-wise, it's in between Hilo and Volcanoes NP, with a grocery store, gas station, restaurants, and shop about 10min away. Great value and spot, I recommend. :)
