Mele's place is conveniently located close to Hilo, but quiet enough to feel like you're away from everything. Everything you didn't think about for your trip, you'll find at the house: snorkeling gear, ziplock baggies for your picnic sandwiches, a cooler...
Check in and check out were super easy. There are tenants upstairs. They are super nice and helpful. Very generous with information. You can hear their steps, but they are very quiet at night.
The house is surrounded by tropical vegetation.
It's a great place to stay. Highly recommended.
