"We really liked that they are self-sufficient, they produce their own electricity using the waterfall in the picture. There we can grab bananas from trees, the dining terrace has a nice view of the waterfall and lush vegetation around. We missed (a little) an air conditioning system in the room and it is hard to get there without a rental car. All in all a very pleasant stay."

"The location is perfect for walking, dining, or shopping. Beautiful scenery and friendly staff."

"Great location. Friendly staff "

"The Thomas Guard house made it a memorable stay in Hilo, where we came for a special family celebration. There are four large upstairs bedrooms, plus one off the dining room and two on the lower floor where the children in our group slept. The large, open living room with its picture window was a magnet for everyone to be together. The entire house is welcoming and gracious, the kitchen is well outfitted, and the dining room is large and comfortable. Everyone was happy to be together in this very special place. "

"Very convenient spot to swim the turtles by driving for a few minutes towards the airport, a great breakfast with fruits and homemade cakes, overall a very good deal if you enjoy staying in a vintage building with a bit reduced comfort"

"This is the second time I have stayed for a business trip. The facility and staff are great."

"Clean, comfortable and excellent amenities "

"We decided to stay here because we wanted to experience the Southeast side of the island and be close to both Hilo and the Volcanoes National Park. This house was well suited to that, being around 45 minutes to either destination with easy driving routes. The house itself is beautiful inside with 3 levels to enjoy. Our son occupied one of the middle level sleeping rooms, and my wife and I occupied the top level bedroom. Wonderful crashing surf sounds all night and stunning black basalt rocks to gaze at from the back yard. No air conditioning but the breeze of the ocean and the numerous ceiling fans cooled down the house for sleeping quite well. Fully equipped kitchen connected to comfortable living room area was delightful to enjoy our dinners each night. Wifi was great throughout the house which was very helpful for our son who needed to connect a few times for remote work with the mainland. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful, walkable and felt safe. Friendly folks to talk with if out for a stroll and even a nearby Little Free Library box ! I especially enjoyed all the tastefully displayed artwork and decor throughout the house. Very unique and worthwhile place to stay! We had NO problems at all during our stay. I would highly recommend to anyone! My only regret was not budgeting in an entire day to just STAY PUT, not go anywhere, and enjoy this space and setting. Richard, you were an awesome host and thanks for all your detailed instructions."
