Maria and Steve's house is just lovely! We agree with other reviewers that the pictures don't do the place justice. Maria was there to greet us at the gate and show us around. She was so welcoming and lovely, as was Steve. While we were there, we found out that our flight was delayed a couple of hours and Maria and Steve had no problem with us checking out a little later so that our baby girl could nap for as long as possible before the flight.

The house is very airy and spacious and although the main house is nearby, the back house is very private. The grounds are gorgeous and the location of the property is fantastic - a little out of the main town and walking distance to some really beautiful swimming spots.

We'd definitely love to stay here again next time we are in Hilo.
