This is an incredible home on the lava cliffs over looking the ocean! Our family had an amazing vacation here. This was our first visit to the Big Island and it was really beautiful. Waterfalls everywhere it seemed and this side of the island is lush and gorgeous. We made a few trips to Kona for beach and scuba/snorkeling days but we were always happy to come back to the Hilo side as it is in my opinion the most pristine and pretty side. I was a little apprehensive about the volcano and fissure activity but once there felt completely comfortable and safe at the location of Mike and Bo’s house. The house is far enough away from any volcano activity but close enough to have a view of the lava glow that casts such a gorgeous color across the sky. We will miss Hawaii and are so happy to have had such a great place to stay. Mike was always available a responded in a timely manner for any questions or advise from where is the best place for breakfast to updates about volcano activity. Great home!! Great hosts!!
