We were looking for a comfortable, affordable place for 4 from which we could see the various attractions of the Hilo side. Jerry's home did not disappoint! We liked that the place was a house in a neighborhood and not in an area geared to tourists. Beginning each day at the Pahoa Smoothie Shack right for us, and we usually ended our "food day" by cooking back at the house. The beds were comfy, the kitchen had all the cooking stuff we needed, the common areas were spacious, and the lanai was lovely. Could the roosters please sleep in a little later? That's our only question. :) A five-star stay!
