We were there for 3 nights, and I wish we could have stayed longer. Scott made it very easy to book our visit, and Jim, his partner, neighbor, and caretaker of the house is very friendly and welcoming when you arrive, and makes sure you have everything you need through out your visit. The house is clean, open and spacious, with a covered lanai that goes all around the house, so you can view the beautiful grounds and the partial view of the ocean. I really loved the private outdoor shower with hot and cold water (not a necessity, as there are 2 full baths inside, but its just fun and different!), and the cool pebble flooring in the indoor bathrooms. There is also a roomy parking space underneath the house that includes a stairway leading up to the house so you can get to and from your car without getting wet in the rain. There are nice beach parks just a short walk, in either direction, right across the street, and it is just a short drive to downtown Hilo. I highly recommend Scott's house and hope to be back soon for a longer stay!
