Best house in Hilo! We loved the view and the art and everything about the house. Kristie is a fabulous hostess. It was so convenient to have beach gear available, including snorkeling gear, boogie boards and beach towels. And of course a cooler. We slept very well with our windows open, the beds were comfy and we loved the sound of the frogs. The neighborhood itself is very quiet. The kitchen was so well equipped and fantastic for eating in. The house is centrally located for visiting sights in Hilo and swimming with turtles is only a short drive away. Helpful hint: there is no recycling picked up at the house, but you can drop off recycling in downtown Hilo.
