We had a fantastic time there. Our daughters will remember the nature around the place, and our breakfasts on the patio for a long time :-) Owner was incredibly caring and responsive (although physically away when we went), we could not have asked for more. 100% recommended!
This property has a beautiful property and garden. The place is nice and bright and has everything that you need for a comfortable stay and vacation. The outside shared deck was lovely to eat breakfast and dinner at. My kids loved the geckos everywhere and tried to find the frogs that sing at night.

Susie and Lester are super nice. Love the neighborhood. Paradise cliff is just a short drive and we were super lucky to see two humpback whales from the cliff.

This peaceful property is accurately listed, with wonderful hosts. It suited our needs for the Hilo side of our trip to the Big Island.
