Four miles north of Hilo, this B&B is both elegant and 'surf shack.' Find two well-designed rooms and an airy shared patio surrounded by tropical flora, koi pond and swimming pool. The Koi Room is smaller, but romantic, with private lanai. The Hula Room is apartment size, with large, lounge-worthy sofas. The property is 100% solar powered.
To get here from Hilo, head north and turn right just past the 4-mile marker on Nahala St.
