A lush forest surrounds the beautiful house, lovely view of the ocean. Modern home with everything you need for a fabulous stay in the Hilo area. Very relaxing to sit on the deck and listen to the birds, private and serene, exactly what my husband and I wanted for a few days, thank you! Don't miss a visit to the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, it's a gem and the Plantation museum is 5 minutes away and gives an interesting history of the area.
