This lovely cottage is perched on a sweet spot above the ocean with stunning views. We didn't expect it to be so close to the ocean so we were pleasantly surprised to see that we were right on the water. We loved listening to the sounds of the waves as we slept and found the location to be very private. James was there to welcome us and since he had just trimmed the coconut trees, we got fresh coconut milk! No better way to arrive in Hawaii than that! The neighborhood is off the main road but within close distance to Hilo so we felt tucked away in our own little piece of Hawaiian paradise. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxed Hawaiian getaway.
