Great place to stay

Everything was as expected, and the hosts were gracious and welcoming. The directions and instructions were clear and accurate. The lovely rental was equipped with everything we needed, and we particularly enjoyed the view from the observation deck. The Coqui frogs were loud at night, but we found their variety of calls funny and entertaining. The property’s location was a great base for relaxing or exploring the Hilo area.
