Carl and Ili were wonderful hosts. Ili was great at communicating and made sure we had everything we needed. They provide a ton of information of local “things to do” in their email. The driveway was the only surprise being that it was a bit rocky/steep but our rental made it up no problem (Ford Edge). Once you make it up the driveway it’s a stunning wrap around view of Hilo and the ocean in the dense forest near Akaka falls. We had a great time going into the near by waterfall (very refreshing fresh water). We walked to Akaka falls to check it out. There is a bathroom in each bedroom which is a huge plus for five adults! The porch and amenities made for a very enjoyable stay while being immersed in the local feel of the Hilo side of the Big Island. If we return to BI we will definitely be re-booking!
