We arrived late at night and had no trouble finding the place. When we woke up in the morning we were wowed at the beauty of the surroundings. The house is magnificent and the waterfall is stunning. We visited on our honeymoon and found that most of the activities we were wanting to do were on the other side of the island. Not a terrible thing, only and hour and a half to the other side. The house was very accommodating. We didn't know what all we would need for the week, but found that the house had nearly everything we could have imagined to need: coolers, sunscreen, big spray, flashlights, beach bags, towels, and swimming equipment. Our only complaint with the house was that there was no air conditioning, but there are ample fans to circulate the air.

Hilo does have a great feeling and some really good restaurants. We especially liked breakfast at Kens, Big Island Juice Company, and Pineapples. Hilo is also really close to the volcano, which is a must see. There are several beautiful beaches, some with turtles.
