Amazing spot in Hilo! The studio feels very secluded with forestation all around. We spent many nights on the lanai listening to coqui frogs. Despite feeling so secluded, you are right across the street from a great beach park, and there are several other beach parks within a mile. There are boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel gear, etc. for guest use. There is a restaurant within close walking distance, with "downtown" being ~4 miles. Communication with the host was very clear and easy. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
