"It was a lovely place to stay, the host was great, answered all my questions and the place was very clean. A very safe residential neighborhood, the highway is a little bit away, but the ocean is closer and every day you can go out on your balcony/porch and watch the whales and the dolphins."

"Amazing fun property and hosts!"

"Don't judge a book by its cover, the outside of the property was very plain. But inside was great, an old structure that has been newly remodeled with granite counter tops and new floors, the décor is beautiful. The photos on VRBO are accurate and fit my wife and I's needs perfectly. "

"The property was very nice."

"What a beautiful, peaceful place to stay. We loved the property and would stay there again. "

"Pics make the place seem bigger than it actually is, but it was more than adequate for our needs. A little concerned that the small window would not be acceptable as a secondary egress point. "

"Even though it is in the middle of a residential area and not far from many shops and restaurants, it really was like staying in a little jungle! Diana was super- accomodating and had a lot of helpful advice about things to do and places to go. And the fruit she grows on the property is beyond amazing."

"although the property was under renovation it didn't interfere with our activities and the landlord responded quickly when we had a minor plumbing problem."

"Cozy, private, beautiful as advertised. The location was perfect for exploring the east side of the island, including Kilauea."

"Great place to stay! Will definitely be back!"

Mai ka’i!

"Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Extra pillows and towels requested were brought to room quickly. Appreciate being greeted by staff upon entering property. A smile goes a long way. No open breakfast like before but they do give a coupon for $10 off sit down breakfast at restaurant. Great views of Mauna Kea!"

"Nice staff. The bed was big and comfortable but the shower could use some work. The bathroom window was facing a nice forest with a home behind it and it didn’t have a curtain blocking that window. Also shower curtain is blocking your body but had an open netting at the top which you can still see because the shower is a bit raised. I threw my towel over and I was fine. For a quick stay it’s great. everything else was very clean and had no problems "

Great atmosphere with good amenities.

"Aaron's Cottage was a great place to stay. It's near the Hilo Bay shore and practically next door to a beautiful public beach park. The owner worked with me on a self check-in so that I could arrive at 11:30 pm. The in-room fridge was nice to have and was supplemented by a nearby communal kitchen with a larger fridge, cooktop, microwave, and toaster. The on-site trees coupled with the ocean breeze kept the room comfortable, but there was a small air conditioner for warmer times of the day. Aaron's Cottage is on a quiet dead end street but still within minutes of downtown amenities. The wifi is very good. My room had a nice Roku television, but why go to Hawaii to watch TV? Skip the glitz and choose simpler amenities with a relaxing atmosphere."

"We love staying at the Dolphin Bay Hotel. It is conveniently located near many places we visit, the staff is wonderful, and the rooms are simple but roomy. We also enjoy how peaceful the neighborhood is and a big bonus is getting fresh coffee, banana bread and fruit every morning. Parking is easy, the WiFi is 5G so accessing devices is super quick. "
