Experience the gracious hospitality of Old Hawaii with a well-known island family.<br /> <br /> Born and raised in Hawaii, Barbara is the fourth Shipman generation to live in the 1899 home.

Fall asleep on a porch rocker, or stroll downtown to buy an armful of tropical flowers at the farmers' market...and get change. Explore the grounds. Enjoy hula on the verandah, or have a lesson.<br /> <br /> Stay in Hilo...one of Hawaii's last real towns...with a kama`aina family. This is Old Hawaii.]]>
