This was an amazing stay. The home was welcoming, private and very clean and relaxing. The pool was amazing on the hot days while we were there and also as a nice wake-up with a morning dip! The property is so beautiful and well-kept and there are amazing flowers, palm trees and a plethora of birds and sing-song Coqui frogs to add to the ambiance. The home is situated just outside of Hilo and between some excellent places to visit. We went to Isaac Hale beach which was affected by the 2018 LERZ volcanic eruption so the beaches are still rugged and likely will be for the next several years. But I can’t say enough about the beauty of this area. “Laid back” takes on a whole new meaning in Hawaii. You won’t want to leave. You definitely will want to stay at Paradise Retreat. We will be staying here again.
