James and Jocelyne were excellent hosts, flexible in timing in meeting us to show us the house, and informative about the area. This is a wonderful place to stay in Hilo. It is right across the street from the best swimming and snorkeling beach in Hilo. We were lucky enough to see the finals of a surfing competition the day we arrived, and to snorkel with sea turtles and tropical fish every day! This beautiful house is a remodeled old post office, with a classic tropical bungalow feeling. We had a wonderful 3 nights here and when we return to Hawaii we will plan to stay here even longer!
