This is an amazing house and the hosts are hands down the nicest people we've ever dealt with. Usually, an Airb&b host tries to be helpful but these folks simply raise the bar. The guest house is perfect for 2 people. It's private, clean, modern and has everything you're going to want during your visit. It's away from the hustle and bustle of Hilo but only a 20 minute drive when you want to go into town. It's also only 10-15 minutes to the lava flows (The lava flows were a little crazy while we were there. The entire sky was glowing orange at night during our stay.) Yet they are far enough away that you will have no safety concerns. Our hosts, Laura and Michael, treated us to amazing smoothies every morning and were a valuable resource offering a wealth of knowledge & information whenever we had questions. The property is close to the ocean and hiking from the property was one of the many highlights of our trip, quickly followed by a refreshing dip in the pool. I'm a little hesitant to even leave an honest review because everyone will then want to stay there and it may not be available for us on our next trip. In fact... on second thought, don't go here. You'll hate it! (Just kidding) So... to sum things up, this is one of those affordable little Airb&b gems that people are always searching for and tend to keep to themselves. I'm just in the aloha spirit and still willing to spill the coffee beans. Stop looking and pray Laura and Michael have a vacancy while you're on the Big Island! (Tell them Larry & Cheryl say hello while you're there!)
