We loved staying at this place. Wonderful hostess, very hospitable and helpful. We couldn't wish for a better place to stay. This place is very private, beautiful views of the bay. It is very new and updated. The location is in perfect distance from downtown Hilo and very close to Aka Aka falls and Rainforest Botanical Garden. Carrie even left us exotic, local fresh fruit to taste (papaya, passion fruit and lychee. We didn't want to leave. It is a must place to stay.A++++++++++
