What an awesome experience!
Joyce and Zac have set up the nicest Air B&B we have ever stayed in for a REALLY good price. There were thoughtful touches to the stay and even personal gifts for us when we arrived. Not only that, they allowed us to check in early AND check out late since we had a 10pm flight (and check-out is originally at 11am).
My fiance and I couldn't get enough of the place and we were so disappointed to only be staying a couple of nights. The location is great, 20 minutes tops and you've got most of the touristy areas covered. 2 hours to the Volcanoes National Park no matter which way you go with a fairly reasonable drive to Hilo and the Mauna Kea sunset. (Go to Hilo and visit Big Island Candies! We had every intention of hitting it on our way back from Volcanoes, but the volcano erupted while we were hiking in the park and ended up staying late to watch that.)
We absolutely cannot recommend them enough (or their two cats!) and hope they continue to hose so we can visit again in the future!
