This location was a perfect balance of away from it all and close enough to stores, restaurants, shopping, beaches, wind and sky to help our family unwind. We loved the house, it's vibe, it's style, and most importantly the kind support and useful information from our host. It wasn't information overload, rules to the sky, or feeling like an outsider. It was understandable fun information that improved our visit to Hilo, rules that made sense and helped us balance ourselves in this amazing place, and a sense of belonging. We were at home while away. Thanks Richard.
