Great spot to explore Hilo and the east side of the island. Steve and Su were great hosts and Steve’s local recommendations were super helpful. The cottage is a great value for the money - the breakfast which includes fruit from their property - makes it an even better value and easy to get fueled up and start adventuring.
The only advice we give is to bring earplugs - the frogs(?) on the property are SUPER loud at night. If you’re into nature noises it may not bother you but we both had to earplug up and use a sound machine.
Other than that - great little spot and their house has two guests cottages, so if you wanted to vacation with friends but wanted separate spaces, while still having a lovely common and outdoor area, this would be an awesome place to do it.
