The pictures and description do not do this home justice! We were excited, just based on the listing, to have our family stay here for a few days. The furnishings were comfortable and the view of the ocean is simply gorgeous. It felt like local-style, old Hawaii luxury with some updated touches. This home can easily accommodate large groups and still feel roomy. It’s also set up ohana-style with two separate entrances and two areas if additional privacy for some of your group is desired. The location is close to Hilo town. It was difficult to leave! Our host, Richard, was accommodating and easy to communicate with. We look forward to staying here again!
