House is about 10 minutes from down-town Hilo by car. Wonderful view of the bay - and a nice quiet neighborhood. You have the entire 2nd floor to yourselves - but the owner lives on the 1st floor..separate entrances and other than a wave from the kitchen - we never saw each other. Great house - lots of space - we were 6 adults and had plenty of space. One full bath - and a half bath in the master bedroom...was not an issue. Would absolutely stay again.
