We really enjoyed our stay in Susies and Les House. The both are so wonderful people and the house is full of little nice details. You also find all the little stuff for a wonderful stay. (herbs, oil, sauces, shampoo, books, cooling boxes for the beach, also a Flashlight for visiting the lava tubes and so much more) We are on a world travel tour - so we have not so many things with us, but we missed absolutely nothing.

Aloha Marianna and Gerfried and Ben and Cataleya! Thank you so much for taking time to write such a wonderful review while you continue on your world travel tour. What an amazing experience you are giving the children....and yourselves! We are so glad we could be part of that experience... and a positive part. As hosts we want our guests to feel completely at home and equipped with things they need as they explore the Big Island. You were excellent guests, and we really enjoyed chatting with you and hearing about your travels. A hui hou! (until we meet again)

Great host couple, they were friendly and helpful. The space was clean and well maintained. The A/C worked well and allowed for comfortable sleeping. We enjoyed walking the property.

We highly recommend this property for its beauty, convenience to Hilo for the Merrie Monarch Festival, and gracious aloha spirit of hosts Susie and Lester. A wonderful 4 night stay!
