Conveniently located

We took a short trip to Hilo to relax and do some touristy things. The accomodations were clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed. We particularly liked the food trucks a short drive away. The location provided wonderful access the many nearby beach parks, and great accessiblity (by car) to downtown Hilo and its environs.

Very cute cottage like home with great personal touches and great additions. Loved the sweet little cookies and drinks left for us, the towels and beach equipment were also great. Comfortable beds and great yard with greenery
