Maria and Steve's place is the perfect relaxing get away just outside Hilo. We stayed there for three nights and enjoyed exploring the garden, sitting on the Lanai and listening to the frogs at night. Maria was very helpful on giving us recommendations on what to do in the area and the location was super convenient to beaches and downtown Hilo. The gate wasn't a problem at all, super easy to get in and out. I would definitely stay there again, and would recommend to a friend! Thank you Maria and Steve!
