About the host

Hosted by Liz Moore

Host profile image
We love the Big Island! Our son attends the University of Hawaii, Hilo, so we are there often. We've been married 26+ years, have 3 grown children and a basset hound. Although we live and work in Texas, part of our home and heart is in Hawaii, a beautiful place to spend time.

Why they chose this property

It’s only a short drive to Keaau, Pahoa or Hilo for great grocery stores, restaurants, shops and entertainment. There are beautiful Cliffs and Shipman’s beach at the bottom of the neighborhood. Akaka Falls, Rainbow Falls, Waipio Valley, Honoli'i Surfer beach, Hilo beaches, Kona, Volcano National Park, Kalapana- Wednesday Night Market , Punaluu Black Sand Beach, South Point and Green Sand beach are some of favorite day trips.

What makes this property unique

I love the screened in front porch (lanai) to drink coffee in the morning and enjoy the beautiful front yard and landscape and sounds of the birds and gekkos.
