Thanks for a great stay. Howard’s cottage is right on the border of Hilo’s downtown and made a great base for exploring Hilo and nearby attractions. Our favorites were the rainforest hike at Akaka and seeing sea turtles at Carlsmith Beach. Howard had sand toys and books to keep the little one occupied. One thing to note is you do get some noisy cars and trucks at night being so close to downtown, which woke up our kids early in the morning.
