The house was a treat. Really like the design and layout. Great place to relax and listen to the tropical sounds. Surrounded by beautiful trees and foliage, so no view of nearby coast line. But, that was fine. Really enjoyed it. It does take a little more time than we expected to drive to the home, particularly from Hilo due to the traffic down the main road getting out of Hilo. Assume 45 minutes to an hour to make that drive between 4:00 - 5:30 pm.
