Simon and Jeri's house is beautiful! They have thought of every detail and have invested in way more than the basics necessary for the weekend or weekly visitor. It's very conveniently located near Volcano National Park and only about 25 mins from Hilo. It's very quiet, clean and comfortable. The three must haves for us! The house has central air but we didn't even have to turn it on once. It was cool and cozy in the evenings. Not sure if it gets hot during the day since we were out the whole time but if it does, you'll have AC. We really appreciated the washer dryer as we didn't want to bring an extra suitcase with clothes. They are very responsive and they provided us with very useful recommendations. The welcome gift was also much appreciated!
If you're planning to visit the Hilo side of the island, I doubt you can find a nicer place to stay. We will definitely look to stay there in the future.
