A beautiful home hosted by warm and beautiful hosts. We met with Maria who was great at communicating right from the start, very easy to talk to and was absolutely welcoming and so kind to accommodate an early check in request. Their home is beautiful with lovely thoughtful personal touches, close enough to walk to the beaches and yet gives you a feel of staying in lush rainforest. This was our third trip to Hawaii but first to the big island we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and take in the beauty of this place. Maria was so kind to share their home grown bananas, gave us a lot of local tips and was so sweet to quickly bring a portable DVD player when I was hoping to watch some of her amazing collection of local Hawaiian documentaries. Would definitely recommend this quaint lovely home if you are visiting Hilo!
