About this property
Private house studio with jungle feel but with the convenience of Hilo town.
Newly painted stylish cozy private studio (a tropical getaway), by itself on the corner of the owner's property surrounded by tropical trees, shrubs, and flowers along with soursop and avocado trees. It has a hard tile floor, granite bar, tiled walk-in shower, ceiling fan, smart tv (no cable but if you have Hulu or Netflix account that should work), kitchen amenities, and nuke wave hot plate, blender, coffee machine, steamer, pots, and pans and a variety of spices and condiments.
It's on county water (Hilo water is possibly the best in the nation and very safe to drink right from the tap!). It's in a nice, coo, and safe neighborhood centrally located to all major tourist attraction sites. This studio boasts cleanliness and a very comfortable SlumberWorld queen mattress.
Also a comfy love seat, and a nice seating area with a table on the private lanai.
The studio is located on a hillside and not affected by any flooding and very far from any lava threats. There are coqui frogs that serenade the nights away. Enquire about car for rent ( if available).
Strong WiFi with extender for added strength, max that Spectrum offers of 996 gig.

Why they chose this property
My property is at an ideal elevation that provide the ideal temperature during the day and night, very quiet except for coqui frogs providing free nighty singing, very safe, and ideal for couples and also lone guests traveling alone and worried about their safety.
What makes this property unique
Great central location to all that Hilo and the neighboring towns have to offer.
Easy access to Volcano National Park, Hilo Rainforest Zoo, Imaloa Observatory Ctr, Hilo beach parks, waterfalls, Mauna Kea and numerous local favorites and tourist attractions.
