What an amazing place for us honeymooners. My wife and I found Todd’s rental to be literally perfect; from the Japanese and aloha decor, to the kitchen with cooking essentials, to the bathroom supplies and beach towels, to the always ready jacuzzi (surrounded by a rainforest!), to the beautiful flowers he grows outside. The bed is comfortable and warm while the electric fireplace will heat you up quickly. The real fireplace in the living room is nice to get extra cozy next to.
The location is excellent if you are planning to spend time at Volcanoes National Park (the park entrance is a 5 min drive) or if you want to see the Hilo side of Big Island. It did rain a lot but when the sun shines it feels extra special. For vegans, there are food options 5 mins away like Cafe Ono and Tuk Tuk Thai.
We are already trying to find an excuse to come back to Todd’s place on the Big Island. It’s a perfect getaway for couples who want adventure at their doorstep while getting to relax at their home base. Mahalo and aloha!
