Our host Daerick made us feel, welcome and was very generous with his time to give suggestions, and to take in the surrounding of his and his wife Nedra's beautiful property. He has immaculately manicured garden, that is peaceful, and welcoming. The studio is homey, clean, comfortable, and laid out with most needs met in regards to appliances and amenities. The bathroom was fantastic with a spa tub! We loved our private lanai, and the sounds of tree frogs at night. The property is located close to Volcanoes. Getting to Hilo took about a half an hour. To see how living with minimal footprint works, you will surely be impressed with these surroundings.
