This two room suite w/private entrance was even nicer than we expected! Maria and Steve are really nice folks, who made us feel very welcome; their welcoming committee of 2 dogs were also sweet. You can hear the ocean as well as see it from this suite, and the lullaby of the coqui frogs will sing you to sleep. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the private lanai, which made it feel like a 3 room suite, and we loved the location --- Alan enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, especially since it was so near the beach, and it was an easy drive into downtown Hilo. Maria and Steve were friendly and welcoming hosts, who were able to accommodate our need to come and go at various hours; we also appreciated their knowledge of the area. We look forward to staying here again!
