My friends and I enjoyed staying at Roxanne's home. While secluded and quiet (we saw the stars almost every night during our stay!), it was the perfect central location for all our day trips around Hawai'i. From this home, you're about 20 minutes from Hilo and 40-60 minutes away from Volcanoes National Park and Mauna Kea (all must-sees!). The longest day trip (2.5 hours) we took was to Kona. When we arrived, we were met by Roxanne's friends Torrey and PJ and shown around the property. The home was as advertised, very spacious and comfortable. It was truly a blessing to have a washer/dryer available. We also appreciated that extra beach towels and a cooler were provided.
My only tip is, if possible, try to arrive during the daytime. We arrived at night during some serious rain and got slightly lost. Thankfully I was able to call the host and get directions! Thank you again for letting us stay in your lovely home, Roxanne!
