This was a great spot to spend two weeks on the east side of "Big Island". I only had a bike to get around, and so found the location very central for me. This included exploring Hilo and Richardson Beach, the village of Pahoa for groceries and their amazing free, public swimming pool, "Red Road" (Hwy 137), the last lava flow at Fissure 8 in Leilani Estates, and many other roads over both the recent lava flows in the area and amazing jungle. The room, furnishings, and other amenities were pretty much what I expected for a cottage, maybe a little larger, and the bathroom shower was a great surprise, nice and roomy. The price was spot-on, and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
