Nice little place

We didn’t spend too much time in the unit—mostly used it as a home base and place to sleep, but it was excellent for our purpose. Clean and well stocked, and the directions/instructions were clear. Nice area, lots of hiking and things to see nearby (short drives). The beach is harder to get to than a quick glance at the map might indicate, but it’s a nice walk. Check out Mr Ed’s Bakery

This was a perfect place to stay on my drive to Hilo. The atmosphere was incredible—I loved listening to the tree frogs singing at night! The backyard was tranquil and green. The bathroom was also very nice, which is always a plus!

Nice place just outside of Hilo

We enjoyed the location of this rental, and it was nice and clean. It is fairly small, but that was not an issue for us as it was basically just used as a place to sleep between adventures. The interactions I had with the hosts were very pleasant.

The studio was well kept, lush landscaping, a place to rest and plan for relaxing and enjoyable day trips. The nearby hike in a natural rainforest to the beach had magnificent plants and flowers and streams leading to the ocean.
