The hosts, house and grounds were truly amazing. It is what one images Hawaii to be beautiful and relaxing. It is about 16 miles into Hilo but I was looking for a private getaway and found it at their home. The hosts had built this home and the attention to details are to be appreciated. The lava rock fireplace, kitchen area where you can enjoy a meal while looking out to their private oasis and many other personal touches that will make your stay a true pleasure.
