We cannot say enough good things about the Whale House. It is a stunning home with the most peaceful and beautiful setting. Even the neighbors are lovely. We lived everything about it. Did not want to leave. The walks along the coast with the waves breaking every morning, being serenaded by frogs every night, the easy location to Hilo, Volcano National Park, a million waterfalls, Black Sands Beach, lava tubes, lava fields, Mauna Kea, and just so much to do we struggled to pick the day's activities. Coming home to a gorgeous house was so relaxing. We each had our own bedroom with comfy beds and clean bathrooms, a garage full of bikes and toys, a kitchen with every spice and gadget imaginable, closets full of games and candles for ambiance, a gorgeous deck with a hammock for drinking coffee while staring at the sea. We can't wait to stay here again. The hosts were so sweet and responsive. You must stay here. Incredible!
