We loved staying at Bill and Rene's. Myself and two friends stayed for 5 nights and it was perfect for us! The place is clean, cozy, comfortable and beautifully decorated. All of our needs were met plus some. Location is great...close enough to Hilo, Pahoa and beyond yet far enough away for seclusion and tranquility. We had access to beach gear but were unable to use due to rain. However, relaxing on the covered porch was such a peaceful and beautiful way to start the day...even in the midst of rainy weather. The home was equipped with all we could possibly need. We would love to stay here again on our next trip to the Island.
