We spend three lovely nights at Claudia's place in Hilo. The location was amazing! The property is large with lush foliage, a pond and a view of the ocean. There is a beach across the street for snorkeling. The beach is rocky with black sand but after getting past the first rocks, you will see some brilliant fish. Our room had a window view of the pond and we loved the active night sounds of frogs and insects. The breeze, coupled with the fans provided, created a perfect temperature for sleeping. Claudia fixed an appealing breakfast and then offered some great ideas for activities around Hilo. Her home is wonderfully decorated. We highly recommend this bed and breakfast for anyone wanted a peaceful spot in Hilo.
