This rental was exceptional, for both place and person. The place is a newly rennovated home a ~7 min drive from downtown Hilo in a private and safe neighborhood, with spectacular views of the bay (from both the living room and master bedroom). Super clean, open layout in common areas, perfect firmness King bed, new appliances… Best of all, Kristie is an extraordinary artist (painter) and examples of her work adorn many of the walls in the house. This place feels great to be in. Kristie’s studio is downstairs. She was delightful and eager to make our stay enjoyable. She succeeded. Highly recommended.
