We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Aaron’s Cottage. Our cottage was clean and well stocked with every amenity, coffee, coffee maker, toaster oven, dishes, and pots and pans. There is also a shared full kitchen for wider cooking options. The check in and check out process was simple and easy. We highly recommend Aaron’s Cottage and will definitely stay here again in the future.
We arrived to a very clean spacious room. The manager sent us our door code. We noticed that the bathroom shower did not have a curtain. The manager offered to change our room or we could just use a towel on the floor. That worked for us! We just used a towel. The adjoining kitchen was a great addition as we like to cook our own meals sometimes. The area is so quiet and beautiful. The street in front of the cottage dead ends into a beautiful secluded public beach, that’s an easy walk away. We were close to downtown, restaurants, beaches to swim and snorkel. Wonderful stay!
I have stayed at Aarons Cottage Amy times. This place is extremely comfortable and clean. I also love the area and how close it is to the ocean. They also have a house available for rent as well for large families. I definitely recommend booking.

Very accommodating even though I reserved last minute, called to check in right before end of day and had to leave early due to family emergency. At least I got to shower. Very cozy. Very clean. Will recommend!

"You get what you pay for" ~ we needed an inexpensive place to stay while on an emergency trip, and this was the best deal for our needs. Positive remarks: The bed was extremely comfortable, courtesy water bottles and snacks provided, good WiFi.

Aaron's Cottage was a wonderful place to stay! Having a private room, but access to the gardens, a shared kitchen, and living spaces was incredibly lovely. They had everything you needed, even some complimentary snacks and water. Thank you Aaron's....I'll be back!
I had a wonderful stay here. Property was easy to find, clean & quiet. The AC worked great and had the most comfy bed & pillows I have ever slept on! I would definitely stay here again.
This was the third time I’ve stayed at this little property. It’s wonderful! There’s a little private beach at the end of the street. The staff is really friendly and if there’s any problems, they fix it right away. Clean. Highly recommend it and I never wait for reviews. Lol.
I really liked my stay at Aaron's cottage on the Big Island in Hilo. The cottage was clean, and perfect just for me. I visit my son Reg, I will definitely stay at Aaron's cottage again. I like that they had an open kitchen Should you desire to cook a meal.
Quietly located in tropical trees, easy in and out, manager quickly fixed a wifi malfunction after text notification, misterious creatures chirping whistling all night, a general store one mile away
Host was very nice and helpful at check in. Amenities were sufficient. Nice welcome amenity in room and much appreciated. Light on porch was out making it hard to see. Shower facility in room was different. No waste basket in bathroom or a place to put toiletries and makeup when trying to use the mirror. Everyrhing got wet in bathroom when showering. No luggage rack or dresser
Room very clean. Nice big clean kitchen with sufficient supplies. Very quiet area. Easy access to room was needed snd received. Comfortable bed. Would hv been nice to hv a small bistro perhaps. Brought 2 chairs in to sit on to hv dinner. Highly recommend this nice, low key, and comfortable place
Room was clean. Staff was responsive. Air conditioning was acceptable. Only issue was appearance of small bugs and a lizard but I guess that is acceptable for a property in that area.
My stay at Aaron's Cottage was good, they left detailed instructions on how to self check-in once I arrived. The property itself is close to a beach in the back, close to downtown Hilo, some tourist attractions and restaurants that can be easily accessed with a car. The unit was cleaned and well stocked with essential amenities, it has an air conditioner and ceiling fan to keep the place cool. There's a communal kitchen that can be used if opt to stay in. Overall, the place is quiet and I had a good experience.
