This was the most amazing place I have ever stayed. The lanai looks onto a gorgeous waterfall that you can walk down to and swim in. It feels like a serene paradise. There are coqui frogs chirping from sundown to sunset, and they are the perfect white noise to fall asleep to. Adorable geckos keep you company outside. The kitchen is big and well equipped, and we cooked half our meals there. The beds were very comfortable (although the smaller guest room does get very hot). We spent most of our time on the lanai enjoying the fabulous sight and sound of the waterfall. There was even a yoga mat provided and I did yoga one morning to the soothing sounds of the rain. The location is excellent, on a beautiful street with friendly neighbors, walking distance from downtown Hilo. We drove to Richardson’s beach for fantastic snorkeling with turtles, Rainbow falls is a two minute drive away, and the volcano is only a 45 minute drive. We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.
