Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Communication was quick and professional. The place was spacious and as advertized. We really liked that there was a cooler, swim equipment, puzzles, and other amenities so we didnt have to fly with anything.
Property and decor were so much fun and host thought of everything you could possibly need to have the perfect stay. Within walking distance of shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again
Comfortable, clean, cozy with all the amenities, even a cooler for our outings. Easy to walk downtown and 5 minutes at ride to other restaurants and park. Quick responses and communication with the ownersMahalo
Great location right near the downtown area. Well stocked with everything you might need or have forgotten.The decor was super fun! Would definitely stay here again
This cottage was a wonderful and relaxing place for our 2-day stay in Hilo. The hosts made us feel right at home with inviting decor and homey touches as welcome gifts. Will certainly keep this place in mind if we ever come back to Hilo!
Stayed here with my kids, aged 16 and 12. It was very near to downtown Hilo, about an hour to the Volcano national park. We had a good time there, the place was clean and the hosts responsive. We enjoye
This was the best place ever! Walking distance to downtown restaurants, shops, and the ocean. The beds were super comfortable and the apartment was clean and updated with all sorts of cooking equipment. The host was communicative. Instructions were simple. Would definitely stay there again!
We had a great time at this property. Everything was well thought out (extra bedding, crib for kids, stuff for cooking), and we liked the small touches like the coffee and treats. The hosts were very helpful and communicated well during the process. We would be looking to stay here again the next time we come to Hawaii!
So we originally booked a room at a resort in Hilo, but decided to change and book this instead because we decided having two bedrooms was a better option. And we were glad that we did! This was much better than a small hotel room and had everything we needed. The best part, lots of places are within walking distance. For food, I recommend the Coco Cantina (2 min walk), it had an amazing $12 lunch special (M-F). The farmer's market is a must. And for groceries, the Sack N Save (owned by Foodland), is a great option. Would absolutely stay here again.
We stayed here for Merrie Monarch and it was in the perfect location, central to everything! Parking was always available, the property was clean and stocked with everything we needed. The property manager/cleaners even mailed a necklace to us that my son left behind!! We will definitely stay here again. Mahalo!!!
Grew up in Hilo so did a few days during my vacation on the Big Island. Definitely wanted to have a kitchen and be closer to downtown. Did not disappoint! Was able to walk to Moon and Turtle and the Hidden Nēnē, no problem!
We loved this house. It had everything we needed, even olive oil and coffee, a great washer and dryer, and amazing decor. We spent a lot of time marvelling at all the whale-themed items and choosing our favourites. The beds are very soft, our preference would be for firmer ones, but otherwise perfect for us.
Very nice house in Hilo neighborhood. My wife said it was "adorable". Two blocks from the local grocery store and within walking distance of other shops and stores. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils and dinnerware. If you plan on using the gas grill you'll need the small, detachable gas cannister like Coleman makes. The coqui frogs are loud at night, so if you haven't been to the Big Island before, be prepared. They actually have a jar of ear plugs for guests.
Newly renovated house in the heart of Hilo. Nicely appointed and very clean and comfortable. Kitchen is fully equipped and everything is nearly brand new. Wonderful location with easy access to all parts of the Hilo and East side communities. The owners are very responsive and the reservation process as well as checking in was very easy and smooth.
I would and will definitely stay here again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
A comfortable, well-equipped house close to the center of Hilo. The kitchen had everything we needed for meal preparation. The absence of air conditioning was not a problem. Open windows did allow for some street noise, but the house made us feel like we were part of the neighborhood.
