This home near Hilo was the perfect place for our Big Island getaway. The house was spotless and beautifully designed, with plenty of space for everyone—my brother, his wife, and two adult kids stayed in the downstairs suite, while I enjoyed the upstairs. We spent hours on the patios just watching the waves crash against the rocks and spotting sea turtles in the surf. The pool was a daily favorite for us all. We spent a day at Volcano National Park and explored some local spots, including Rainbow Falls, the Boiling Pots, Richardson’s Beach, and Coconut Island. One day, we drove across Saddle Road to the Waikoloa side, swam and snorkeled at Hapuna Beach, and took the scenic Hamakua Coast on the way back. The kitchen was well-equipped, so we made most of our meals at home, but we did have some restaurant meals. One night we ordered Popeyes through DoorDash and had a fun Netflix movie night. We also appreciated the use of the beach equipment, cooler, books, and games. This was such a peaceful, relaxing stay—can’t wait to come back!
