We had a great time staying here, it made the perfect home base for our first visit to Hawaii. Really came to appreciate staying in the Puna/Hilo region - it's very well suited for a more laid-back exploration sort of vacation. Between the nice private land and the open-air feeling of the house, it's hard to beat the sense of privacy and simplicity that you get while staying here. Andrew and Connie stock the place with a lot of nice extras for adventuring on the island, ranging from snorkeling equipment to a tent to a charcoal grill. They were good hosts and available whenever we needed anything, too.
