If you are visiting the big island, don't miss the opportunity to stay here. The place is wonderful and eclectic with it's Spanish-style home & other interesting architectural touches. The place has everything you need and spacious enough if you are travelling as two couples. I enjoyed the luscious green of staying near to Hilo. And it is a big island, regardless of where you stay, but it is near to so many micro-climates. Joy and Michael have great tips and stories. I will definitely return!
