Wow!!!! We were really impressed with this little cottage we rented. It is located 30 minutes from Hilo, 30 minutes from the Volcano Park, 40 minutes from Mauna Kea.....so it's fairly close to all the major attractions near Hilo. The host Roby and his wife were kind, helpful and very welcoming. The location is very quiet and beautiful. And the cottage itself is amazing; it's CLEAN, we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay (from pans and pots to shampoo and new soap in the bathroom!) I would go there again and I recommend it 100% for anyone who wants to spend time near Hilo, with or without kids.
