The house was perfect. We live on Maui and wanted to make a long weekend of visiting Big Island. The house overlooks the bay and it was beautiful to watch the mist roll in as well as the rain on the roof. The house has a japanese aesthetic and lends itself to a very relaxing stay. Conveniently located from Hilo town, it's an easy drive to most places in Hilo. Kristie and George were lovely and very friendly. We hope to visit again!
