This. Place. Is. Amazing.
Such a unique house - I’ve never seen a house like it. The pictures posted don’t do it justice at all. The house is two-storied with separate entrances and is a 360 degree wraparound with a gorgeous view. Carl’s place was the perfect place to relax and retreat from the world. While there were places in Hilo we could have stayed to be closer to town, we loved that it was so peaceful there with the sounds of water flowing, wind blowing through the trees, and birds greeting you in the morning. You’re really tucked away from the world. Getting to this house is an adventure, there’s a very short but very steep little hill to get to the house from the main gate so best to rent a Jeep or SUV if you can.
Carl and Ili (property mgr) were super responsive and attentive. Carl gives detailed instructions on how to get to the house and many recommendations for what to do/see/eat in this area.
I wish we had more time to stay and explore the property. Would definitely stay here again!
