We wanted to stay in Hilo for some day hiking trips and to see the lava flow… The location was amazing as it was only a few miles from the Volcano Park. Defiantly heed Mark’s warning on the groceries and picking them up in Hilo. Day two we made the drive for food however the night prior we did have some amazing fish and chips at Thai Thai Bistro and Bar. The home was lovely – in fact we might mirror this model of a home if we ever build. No issues and a great stay at Mark’s place.. Highly recommend it.
