We had a truly delightful stay. The apartment is very well appointed with all the dishes, cookware, and kitchen appliances you could want. The location is gorgeous - watch the sunrise in the morning and listen to the calming waves at night. We enjoyed the pool and the direct ocean view from the beautiful back yard. There is a beach park just down the road popular for surfing and body-boarding. Hilo doesn't get enough credit as a tourist destination, give it a try! Mari is a great host - always available but never intrusive. I highly recommend this property!
