We really enjoyed our time here. The owners are very welcoming, and their communication is excellent.
The home is clean and well equipped, with a lovely view of the ocean. There is a nice hike to the shore in the neighborhood (if it rains, be ready for mud).
The cottage is on a large plot of land near an old sugar mill (the mill is visible when you drive in). The main house is next door, but the two properties are separated by a covered walkway, so you have a lot of privacy. There is a large, grassy yard (huge).
The house is a short drive to Hilo, Akaka Falls, or the old Mamalahoa Highway (the "Scenic Route"). It's a great location if you want room to roam, but easy access to the sights in Hilo.
Highly recommend.
