    Staying with Chris is like staying with family. Everything is very homey and welcoming. Chris was incredible about showing us all around town and introducing us to some amazing people and activities in the area. I would 100% recommend this place...

    Chris was an excellent host and was very helpful with telling us what sites to see and places to go. As a room share, we felt that this was much better than staying at one of the overpriced hotels. Very homey and olaid back.

    On a adoré séjourner dans cette belle maison située près de Hilo sur la grande île. Nous.nous sommes sentis comme à la maison. Chris, le propriétaire et son adorable chienne, Roxy, nous ont accueillis chaleureusement avec pleins de bons conseils...

Chris
Aloha and E Komo Mai! Slow down, relax and make yourself comfortable in my centrally located tropical home. Recently updated, your private room features new paint and linens, a comfortable queen size bed, television and access to 2 updated shared bathrooms. You'll have access to a full kitchen, dining and spacious living room spaces as well as free onsite parking. Perfect for a couple or the solo traveler.
After retiring from the military, my dog, Roxy, and I just moved to the Big Island. We love the weather, the community and meeting new people! There's so much to do and see here. I hope to meet you and talk story about the Big island and world travels!
My home Is conveniently located a few blocks from the main road and allows for quick travel times to Hilo, Volcanoes National Park and some of the best black sand beaches on the island. It's a short drive to hit some great local restaurants, road side stands, some nightlife and great island exploring.
