If you are looking for a cookie cutter “beach” Hawaii experience keep on scrolling, but if you want a genuine Hawaiian experience being surrounded by tropical greenery, the sound of the ocean, and tranquility - then this is for you! The perfect location at the end of a road, a beautiful balcony to sip coffee (or wine) and watch the whales breaching, a short drive to Hilo (which is a tropical paradise that is not overrun by tourists), and easy access to the volcano (a beautiful 45 min drive). The hosts are fantastic - helpful yet respectful of your space. The accommodations are extremely clean, and the breakfast delightful. I suspect I will be back :) thank you for a perfect getaway!
