Via’s home was the perfect sanctuary for my husband and I to spend a month while house-hunting and working remote in Hawaiian Paradise Park! Via was extremely welcoming and left so many personal touches and local treats in the space for use to enjoy during our stay. She and her beautiful family went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed and gave great tips & recommendations for the area. A lush location with an abundance of beautiful flowers and wildlife- I loved being greeted every morning by her fluffy pack of silky chickens! On top of Via’s amazing hospitality, Hawaiian Paradise Park (HPP) is the perfect jumping off point to explore all the unique attractions that make the Hilo side so incredible! Via’s place is close to the weekly farmers market and grocery stores for provisions, and about equal distance to get to Hilo, volcano and the red road/ Kalapana area. If you want to discover REAL Hawaii and the local lifestyle that comes along with it- this is the place for you!
