This is a breathtaking space, with views to the ocean and river, surrounded by flowers and birds and the sounds of frogs in the evening. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay, and really enjoyed the convenience of being so close to Hilo while also feeling like we had our own little corner of Hawai'i to enjoy. The covered and screened lanai feels cozy when it's raining and like paradise when it is sunny.
The experience reminded me of the earlier days of Airbnb before things became commercialized, with Delia being a warm and friendly host who met us to walk us through all the details of the home.
One note is that if you are a light sleeper you may want to bring earplugs for the brief period of morning when the local roosters decide to herald the sunrise.
