Our home is located along a quiet private road in one of Hilo's beautiful residential areas. Here, you can enjoy open space, tropical vegetation, fresh air, and a slower pace while remaining close to shopping, dining, beaches, waterfalls, and many of Hilo's attractions.
The surrounding area is wonderful for a peaceful morning walk or jog, and nearby East Hawaiʻi offers waterfalls, rainforest trails, black-sand beaches, snorkeling, kayaking, botanical gardens, farmers markets, and countless opportunities to experience the natural beauty of the island.
You'll also be conveniently positioned for day trips to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and other destinations throughout the Big Island.
LOCAL HOSTS, HERE WHEN YOU NEED US
We live in the separate, detached main residence on the same five-acre property and respect our guests' privacy. At the same time, we're nearby if you need assistance or would like local recommendations.

Summary: Our stay was amazing! The property was very very clean and decorated nicely. The parking and accessibility were great. The view is just amazing, the goats nearby were so cute! The owners were friendly, kind and the information book inside the home was very well put together and resourceful. I highly recommend this property for your stay while visiting Hilo.
