Comfortable stay withgreat view
We enjoyed our stay here very much. Just a few recommendations: instructions to the room could have been a bit clearer. Luckily, we got here before dark. Outdoor lighting along the path would help, too! The breakfast fruit and muffins were a very nice touch. Kekela was very nice, too!

Wonderful location!
The view from the big windows was spectacular. We enjoyed our breakfast on the patio every morning. The floral display around the house was stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better location. We did trips to the north and south ends of the island. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful Babymoon Stay
This is the first b&b that we've actually gotten the breakfast part of the b! The Bamboo room was well equipped and quiet at the end of the house (no one passing by our porch). The breakfasts were such a nice touch with super fresh fruit, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and muffins. I love that it was provided because it allowed us to sit out and watch the sunrise with our coffee (also in room with fresh milk). It was so nice to really enjoy the lanai without having to leave. The pool was so nice in the heat and my husband loved watching the surfers down at the beach. Screens allowed us to open the windows and listen to the ocean and animals at night. Truly a wonderful stay close to Hilo, Volcano National Park, and other east island points of interest. Thank you for sharing your home!

Great B&B
The room was nice, and they stocked your fridge with a nice breakfast for each morning. The pool is incredible - it over looked the ocean including a nice surfing beach and Hilo town. The room also had a nice private lanai area for each room overlooking the ocean.

Perfect for us!
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! The lanai looking out over the ocean was exactly what I wanted. We enjoyed getting to watch the surfers down below. The daily breakfast was perfect and the coffee was delicious. We had the property to ourselves so it was very quiet and peaceful. My husband and I both agreed we will come back if we get the chance!

Hilo Tour
We are Hawaii island residents and we played tourist for a long weekend. The location was great and close to all the museums, the zoo and dinners. The sound of the ocean was very nice and the unit had a great view. We even saw a cruise ship come into port from our unit. We ate at HBC and Cafe Pesto. We also had a nice drink at The Hidden Nene (speakeasy in town). The bed was very comfortable and the continental breakfast consisting of muffins, fruit and boiled eggs were great! The only downside is parking. The space is very restricted so I would suggest a car or small SUV. We have a full sized van that was tight.

Amazing location with views of Hilo and the nearby beach. Breakfast was healthy fresh fruit, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and muffins. The parking was a little tight in a mid-size car, so don’t bring an SUV (or arrange to park on the street). Very quiet and comfortable room.

Great Location and View
We loved our time! Check in was seamless. The Bamboo room is on the end of the line of rooms and private as a result. Excellent small breakfast each morning that varied from day to day. Direct view out of the window onto the ocean. One night some dog barking, but this went away quickly and left just the sound of the waves and frogs. Parking spot is a little tight, but wasn’t a problem even in our mini-van. Pool was well maintained and with a great view as well. The jacuzzi was always covered, but maybe they would have opened it if we had asked. We would definitely come again. Thanks for hosting us!

Underwhelmed
The room was clean and nice but that is all I can say that is positive. The driveway and parking is atrocious. There are 4 small parking spots with very little ability to maneuver. Getting to you room involves uneven stone stairs, going down then back up. The breakfast is a plate of fruit, hard boiled eggs, store bought muffins at best. And that meal is put in your refrigerator the day before. Impersonal

Amazing views from the room and porch. We saw whale spouts every morning. Beautiful landscaping and flowers on the property. Great options for breakfast refreshed each morning and clean dishes provided. Coffee was great. Stairs in the dark and rain could be a little challenging. Enjoyed watching the surfers each day.

This place is very clean (no central air) and in a great location in Hilo. Make sure you can fall asleep with loud coquis frogs, because this place has them. No fault to the B&B, we had rainy weather for the 3 days staying here.

The wife and I were very happy with the accommodations. The style is what I would consider mid-century Island? The bare essentials are there; super clean, fresh bakery and local fruit breakfast, Johnny-on-the-spot housekeeping, pool and hot tub, and the price is definitely right. The very best feature is absolutely the elevated ocean view from your Lanai overlooking the north end of Honolii Beach and it's world class surf and surfers. There might be a better BandB value in the Hilo area but I can't imagine where.

I truly enjoyed my stay at this location. I was amazed by the view and really enjoyed being directly on the ocean. The pool and hot tub were welcome, and I was able to see the humpbacks in the bay. Also, a wonderful view of the sunrise from here. The fresh fruit and breakfast accommodations were a nice touch.

Great room, fantastic property. only 2 things folks should know: the bamboo room does not have a sliding door onto the lanai and if you are a light sleeper, this room has vegetation on the side of it (it is the end room) and the coqui frogs are very loud. we got used to it after the first few nights but be aware. Property managers are fantastic and very accommodating. will stay there again in the future...
