Colton’s place was such a great find! We had wanted to spend some time on the eastern side of the island but didn’t really want to stay in Hilo itself after enjoying staying in more secluded areas for the rest of our Big Island trip. This was the perfect compromise: close enough to the city that it was an easy drive to restaurants and grocery stores, but still off the beaten path enough that it’s really peaceful. We weren’t sure how we’d feel about staying in a shipping container, but Colton has done such a great job of turning it into a beautiful home that you completely forget what it’s made out of. We loved being able to make a fire and sit outside looking at the stars at night, and enjoyed taking a walk around the property to look at the fruit trees and birds in the morning. Colton himself was a great host, very friendly and easygoing, and checked in with us to see if we needed anything. We’d highly recommend his place!
