Michelle’s place was awesome and she was a great host. She reached out before our trip to make sure we had everything we would need. She gave great recommendations of things to do and very knowledgeable of the are.
The place is beautiful and peaceful. With the windows open the place stayed very cool but light sleepers might have a problem with the birds, especially the roosters in the morning. We’re heavy sleepers and found the birds a soothing way to fall asleep. There were some fairly strict but very easy to follow rules being that it’s a shared space and wild jungle type area. As others have noted the king bed is two twins put together but not a big deal.
The beach is very cool with large walkable volcanic rocks and huge crashing waves. The are is a nice distance between the city of Hilo and Volcanoes national park. There was lots to do in the area and tons of local shops and food stands around.
