"Very comfortable for our family"

"I stayed in one of the cottages which are new, beautifully decorated, super functional and so ver comfortable. The king size Sleep Number bed was over the top luxurious! Met owner Randy who took us on a tour of the gorgeous property and enjoyed tasting the fruits from the plantation. Loved that they have several rescued cats on property. The cats are very polite. The mini kitchen in the cottage was perfect for breakfast or lunch."

"Beautiful!"

"Great place to stay in Hilo. Right on the ocean!"

"This is a fantastic comfortable hotel. Everyone is polite room is comfortable. It’s close to everything that we found useful and fun. If I had to complain about anything, it would be no free coffee in the lobby. that’s about it."

"The hotel is super cute and retro but clean, with a great surrounding garden. Staff was amazing!"

"This is more of a motel but very clean and out in the country of Hawaii Owners are very welcoming and accomadating"

"We loved loved this property. It was clean, loved the fact they offered house slippers as well as outside slippers. We spent more time out on our full beautiful balcony more than in room. Beautiful landscaping. You can tell they take pride in the rental home. It’s was quiet and laid back for my husband and I. Maid service was awesome. We stayed on that side of island cuz it was my local, and just drove to tourist areas when we wanted to do stuff. Zoo was free and gorgeous, rainbow falls was free and beautiful. Checked out many beaches. Overall everything was wonderful. Even tried to eat mostly authentic local foods. Island breeze luau was a rip off don’t recommend. But it’s a must stay. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. Mr.& Ms. Hunt"

"Located in a farming/orchard/ranching area in the rain forest side of the Big Island. Most properties in the area are working farms with families and acreage, so expect to experience the daily activity of farm life. The cottage we stayed in was an extension of the main house, separated by a covered garage port. The family are great hosts, quiet and mindful of guest privacy. The view from the covered lanai out over the orchard and ocean is spectacular and peaceful, and we spent much of our time there. The living quarters were adequate and nice, but not new or updated if that matters. There is a shared off site laundry that was fine. The only thing I would warn about is that there is no air conditioning. A ceiling fan and a floor fan with open windows works well for most days. We had a run of 3 hot steamy, rainy nights that were difficult to sleep through for us cold climate visitors. The location is about 20-25 minutes drive from Hilo and any significant services and restaurants, but the full kitchen, fridge and eating area allows for food prep and dining. The region has some great attractions, a couple of spectacular waterfalls nearby, and the fabulous Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden and parks with beaches and snorkeling when the seas are calm enough. Within 45-60 minutes, you can get to several Farmers Markets, Hilo, Waimea, Saddle Road volcanic parks and hiking trails and quaint small town districts. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would come back again on future visits. "
