Cute and Convenient definitely describes this cottage in Hilo. It’s bare minutes from the Farmers’ Market (great for fruit and veggies as well as crafts and flowers), restaurants (we preferred Cafe Pesto — great food — to Pineapples — too loud with ‘commercial-grade’ food), and magnificent Shave Ice at Kula. An easy stroll to grocery stores, too. The cottage has 2 bedrooms, a large LR/DR, and a well equipped kitchen and bath. While air conditioners, ceiling and floor fans are there, just opening the windows to the refreshing trade winds was exquisite and comfortable. There’s a cute front porch with chairs. There are lots of beach towels, beach chairs, and beach distractions. The Hilo Bay waterfront, Lili’uokalani Gardens and Richardson’s Beach are all spectacularly beautiful.
