WOW WOW WOW...this property is unbelievably beautiful! Located 10 min north of Hilo, the location was perfect for exploring the east side of the island. The owners have several properties on site (for themselves, as well as another cottage for travelers), our was located beneath the third house, though felt very private because our view was of the impressive and lusciously green yard and pasture.
The bed was extremely comfortable (though the pillows were thin for my taste) & the house overall was immaculately clean and stylish. The pool was maybe a five min walk up the hill to the next house over, but we didn't mind the stroll up there. Also nearby was a beautiful waterfall and view of the mountain on clear days. As parents of a young kid, I appreciated they that they had a pack n play, beach toys & outlet covers
The owners were all very friendly and made us feel very welcome. I know it can be a gamble to share the property, but we felt so at ease and enjoyed our stay immensely.
