We loved our stay at Carrie and Hugh’s place. The location was great, as it was just outside Hilo, and it also had beautiful views outside each window. Sunrise over hilo Bay on the lanai was a special treat. The decor was lovely - granite and beautiful wood - and the furniture and bed were very comfortable. Carrie and Hugh were available to answer questions if we needed, but mostly we felt like we had our own private residence. We are planning to return!
