Christies's place is just AMAZING! True, you are remote from Hilo. True, you are surrounded by the woods, but this is as good as it gets to explore the raw nature of the Big Island. You are just minutes away from where the 2018 volcanic activities took place. So close to the National park, and the beaches, plus the space itself is SUPER clean. She has EVERYTHING that you can think of that you may need on your visit....from small essentials like Q-tips and flashlight to big ones like washer/dryer, etc. Christie's place has it all. My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon because we couldn't find other accommodations in Hilo and we are so glad we did! The cool thing is she lives right next door so if you need anything, she is right there. Highly recommended!
