This was a charming stay on the outskirts of Hilo. Probably technically a suburb but it felt a lot more rural. There were frogs chirping and a neighbor had chickens or roosters. Daryl has a koi pond and swinging chairs in the front yard though we got there at night and didn't see them til the next morning... The house was nicely partitioned so we didn't feel like we were disturbing the family and vice versa. The bathroom had hot water and lots of shampoo options and the bed was very cozy, comfortable. We were between two pretty hard hikes, and I have had an allergic reaction to bug bites so our plan to camp was spoiled and Daryl had same day availability that didn't kill our emergency budget. Communication was clear and friendly. I would definitely stay again.
