I had a lovely 10-day stay with Maria and Steve. The suite is very comfortable and roomy and amazingly located within a short distance of all of Hilo’s beaches. I used a bike to get around rather than a car, and had a perfectly easy time getting everywhere I wanted to go. Maria and Steve were so easy to communicate with, and so generous with their time and knowledge of the area. Steve even helped me put my bike together after I’d taken it apart to travel with—an amazing help!
The suite is on a beautiful property with plants and goats and chickens. I got to enjoy passionfruit, oranges, avocados and bananas that (I believe?) had all grown on the property, all of which were delicious.
The suite is attached to a main house, and there are various animal noises around, if that matters to you. But it was just part of the atmosphere to me. There’s a kitchenette on a private deck with anything you’d need to make simple meals or coffee and tea. Which was perfect for a short stay.
Would love to stay with Maria and Steve again any time, and fully recommend their place.
