This place is perfect.
Photos don’t do justice to the magnificent views. The location is ideal – secluded, but a great jump-off point for adventures around Hilo or the rest of the island. Or you could just hang out at the house the entire time and read.
I messaged the hosts a couple questions, and both times they returned a friendly response within ten minutes. They left some breakfast food in the fridge for us. We found every spice, condiment, and utensil we looked for in the cabinets. You can tell this is a home that they regularly use themselves.
The king-sized bed was amazingly comfortable. We slept better there than we have in our own bed in months.
I can’t think of any ways to improve this house. If we come back to the big island, this will be the first place we book.
