John and Maria are excellent hosts! We felt incredibly welcome during our stay. The house had everything we needed, and served as a great launchpad to visit Hilo, Puna, and Volcanoes National Park. The house is also located right on the water, which gave us beautiful sunrises and coastlines to explore. The house was very well appointed with everything you might need and filled with personal touches, and easily outclassed condos on the island. We would love to stay here again!
