Very easygoing ohana (guesthouse) on the hosts' property. Maria was very friendly and helpful but not overbearing, and the place is spacious. It feels a lot like staying in a friend's home while they're away.

While Keukaha isn't very far from downtown Hilo, the property has undeveloped lots on two sides and feels very private, like staying in the country convenient to town. It's very close to the ocean, and a longish walk or short drive a couple of public beach parks.
