We had a wonderful stay at James and Jocelyne's place. The oceanfront lanai was just what we imagined -- we loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves each night! Due to the proximity of the house to the water, we encountered almost no insects at all. James was very flexible with our check-in, and we appreciated the snacks and coffee that were stocked in the kitchen on our arrival! The unit is also very close to Hilo (about a 10 minute drive) and nearby sights (Akaka falls, volcano national park, etc all under 1 hour's drive away). Highly recommend!
