Delia is sweet as can be. She met us at Makanella when we arrived and showed us around the place. Even left us some breakfast items in the fridge for our stay, which was very nice. The house is exactly as described and pictured. Beautiful setting for a place to stay on the Big Island with beautiful views off the lanai. Location is excellent as its only a short drive to downtown Hilo and all sites on the island are easily accessible. The house is right off of a highway, but is secluded enough that we never even noticed vehicles going by. The chirp of the coqui frogs at night was awesome and we found our own little coqui frog in one of the plants on the lanai - we checked in on him every night! If (and hopefully when) we return to the Big Island we hope to stay at Makanella again. We had a delightful time.
