easy to find place just 15min from Hilo. good base to explore Hilo and the area! we loved the black sand beach down the coast after Pahoa. the private room has a good size and bed is comfy! no need for aircon as the area is cool in the night.
you can have your breakfast outside on the porch with views to the ocean in the distance.
the dogs are small and dont bark at all. they are either outside or in the living room welcoming you. good option in the area
